As a woman, do you ever feel that your ideas are not taken seriously by your boss and colleagues? The trouble could be that you are projecting weakness through your words, body language, gestures and facial expressions. It's a trap that ensnares many educated, talented women. Now Phyllis Mindell, Ed.D. says you can transform the way you express yourself and get your ideas heard. In her new book, A Woman's Guide to the Language of Success, Mindell guides the reader to greater poise, confidence and assertiveness needed to break through the "glass ceiling" without compromising femininity and integrity. Readers will see how to grow a power vocabulary and eliminate limp words and phrases that affect their credibility. The author gives instruction on how to take command of all forms of communication, verbal, non-verbal, writing, reading, and listening, all tools for power and influence. They will also discover how to:

• Respond to slurs and put-downs without alienating anyone.
• Organize thoughts and write a strong, effective memo.
• Project confidence and power through body language.
• Command the floor at meetings and make comments that are memorable.
• Tune in to colleagues' facial expressions, posture, and other non-verbal cues to discover what they really mean.

The dozens of effective exercises and models can make a big difference in how a woman is viewed. Also included are real-life success stories and how-to techniques.
