Words That Really Work
Words have to shine these days if they're going to be effective. The need is not just for them to stand out from the crowd. You may also want them to influence decision makers, touch hearts, change lives or even sway nations. So how well are you employing their power and potential?

In everything we do, words are worth getting right. But so often we treat them with contempt. We're lazy with punctuation, mis-spell even common words and mangle their meanings. And with thousands of words to choose from, we still fall back on stale old ways of saying things.

No one who creates messages of any sort can afford to be sloppy in today's word-drenched world. Words can't be foggy, because no one's got time to spare. And they have to be authentic, ringing with the truth of what you stand for. Readers and TV viewers know bullshit when they see it. All of us are looking for honesty.

With humour and authority, word-whiz Lindsey demonstrates what works and what doesn't, raising laughs with clunkers and spotlighting great moments - drawing inspiration from sources old and new and as disparate as Winston Churchill and Mae West.

Who would benefit from hearing her? Marketing, advertising and public relations people, copy writers, newsletter editors, website creators, report writers - anyone, in fact, who needs to communicate with others and wants to be inspired to enjoy their wordcraft more.
