Publisher's summary

Most women - even successful professionals - have trouble speaking up. Even Oprah Winfrey has said that her “biggest flaw is her inability to confront people”.

Have you ever kicked yourself for what you should have said? Have you ever been afraid to speak up, been certain you didn’t have the right words? Even the most intelligent women were often brought up to be passive, or never learned the skills involved in effective assertiveness. Now, this powerful, practical guide offers proven techniques that empower women to express themselves in any situation and gain the respect and admiration of others.

Did You Say Something, Susan? will teach you how to:

  • Say no without guilt
  • Speak up for your rights
  • Project confidence and high self-esteem
  • Never leave anything important unsaid

Rich with anecdotes and examples, Did You Say Something, Susan? provides self-assessments and exercises, role-playing, and mental rehearsals that will help you achieve a level of effectiveness you never thought possible. Serving as coach and counselor, this no-nonsense guide will help you make immediate and long-term changes in your life. It will inspire new courage and confidence to get what you want on your terms.

Yes , I said something!

These are useful skills for any human beings. The examples are mainly about women and the audience is for women, but this is universally helpful for understanding how to deal with difficult situations. The style is easy to follow and has specific techniques to use as well as why to try them. Everyone can benefit from this book .

Activate your Authentic Assertive Voice

I bought this book for a couple of clients who were struggling to stand up for themselves in the variety of situations. What I found was applicable to them, yes and, there were several gleanings for this professional coach as well. I realized that while I thought I was assertive, some of my responses due to delay in my response, were peppered with aggressiveness.
Thank you to Dr Paulette for such excellent real life examples, exercises, and practices that develop adult, accountable, and effective encounters. Brava!
