The next time you're in a meeting or listening to someone and you're thinking to yourself, "Should I speak up here? Maybe it will be more trouble than its worth," I suggest to you that that's probably a good time to assert yourself. Yes, occasionally you will go overboard and say too much. There will also be times when in retrospect it would have been better if you had said nothing. This will happen. This is life. Heed your internal voice. If you think you ought to say something, the chances are extremely favorable. This is an instance in which it makes sense for you to speak up. You'll learn from those encounters and get better at training yourself to know when it's time to speak up. This book will teach you how to build confidence to deal with anyone; whether it's family, friends, or co-workers. We all know that having good communication skills can be the difference between success and mediocrity.
