“Shut Up and Say Something: Business Communication Strategies to Overcome Challenges and Influence Listeners” is already getting rave reviews for presenting simple no-nonsense strategies to turn ordinary business communicators into powerful speakers who can overcome challenges and influence important listeners.

Just released, this one-of-a-kind book is packed with personal review notes from individual client coaching sessions, try-it-this-way techniques, lessons learned from brainstorming sessions, closed door meetings, client conversations and management of high-profile issues to show readers how to sell ideas, minimize mistakes, convey vision, dodge loaded questions, think fast on your feet, advance agendas and convincingly communicate their expertise in any business situation.

Called an insightful book brimming with funny heartwarming stories, examples and lessons learned from the author’s 25-year career in television news, a run for political office and communications advisor to some of the nation’s biggest companies, the importance of prioritizing outcomes is emphasized throughout the book.

“Communicating well is the key to success in the modern-day world. No one knows how to do it better than Karen Friedman. Her sound advice will revolutionize the way you communicate in public and in business. A tremendous resource that should be required reading,” said Gov. Ed Rendell.
