Review
"Beautiful, timely, interesting and useful." -- Sam's Buy-Line, A division of Wal-Mart Stores
"Massie's principles reflect the best information available. Neither cold nor pompous, this book seems destined to make friends wherever it goes - and to help those friends achieve healthy goals." -- Ft. Meyers Newspress
"The entire tone of this easy-to-read book says professional trainer and speaker Brigid McGrath Massie deserves trust. Not for her the flossy glossy theories on why we humans do what we do. Brigid digs down into her substantial background and puts forth scores of very practical tips that will sharpen communication and leadership skills." -- Lansing News-Leader
"This book has people laughing and shuddering with the recognition that whether at home or in the business world, most of use are woefully ineffective. Massie shows people how to get to the point, solve problems, and save time for personal relationships, leisure, education and the pursuite of things that bring status and respect in the community." -- Gannett Publications

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not quite "must have",
By A Customer
This review is from: What Do They Say When You Leave the Room? How to Increase Your Personal Effectiveness for Success at Work, at Home, and in Your Life (Paperback)
The reviews of Massie's other book are telling here as well. The writing style is fine, and the real world examples are interesting, but there's NOT a lot of meat. If you're looking for a light read during which you'll say "oh, yeah - i should (or could) have thought of that", this might be it. If you're looking for a hardcore primer on personal effectiveness, this is NOT it.
