Paperback. Condizione: Good. From 1997-1999 Donovan Kelly wrote a column for the Washington Post called Crummy But Good in which he reviewed local eateries that looked dubious from the outside, but that offered something beyond the ordinary on the inside. His popular column, the ongoing radio series (WAMU-FM) and the never-ending suggestions from his legion of crummy-but-good scouts are brought together for this first compilation of reviews of the 50 best establishments meeting the highly technical crummy-but-good criteria. Crummy means a place that looks so bad from the outside that you would hesitate to take your mother inside, especially if she were wearing her good dress. But Good means that, once inside, you find some combination of a good menu, good food, relaxing atmosphere, friendly people, and reasonable prices that makes you want to come back. And maybe bring your smart aleck brother from New Jersey who thinks he's seen everything. The restaurants are located in DC, and nearby and not so nearby Maryland and Virginia, and West Virginia. Included is a completely unbiased (?) list of the ten best places as well as a chronicle of the ongoing, ever-controversial Crummy but Good Crabcake War.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Dr. Susan Miller s passion is to empower women with effective compelling communication skills so they can articulate and achieve their goals, communicate their needs, and master the art of being heard where it counts. Be Heard the First Time is an operator s manual for oral communication and shares the seven key skills of all competent speakers, plus Dr. Miller s proven strategies for breath and pitch control. For beginners, she shows how to focus on posture, presence, comfort level, and the message itself. For the more skilled speaker, Dr. Miller provides effective strategies for combating dry mouth, retrieving words, and answering aggressive questioning when faced with a high-level public meeting or press conference. Be Heard the First Time promises to help reticent women walk, stand, or sit powerfully, even if you feel insecure; like the sound of your voice; breathe deeply and slowly when you are anxious; say the last word of a sentence without trailing off; express your opinions, desires, and experiences clearly; vary the loudness, pitch, and duration of your voice when speaking; entertain others with stories, presentations, and tall tales; finish your statement without interruption; interview, clarify, object, debate, and negotiate powerfully; and respond assertively to criticism. Now the soft-spoken patent attorney, for example when promoted to the CEO position can quickly learn how to make a confident and visible entry to a conference or reception room, and how to speak quite differently than she did before her promotion. And, for those aiming for promotion, this book reveals how to be heard the first time so you can achieve your goals.REVIEWS Local voice and communication consultant Susan D. Miller wants you to speak with authority.Breathe deeply, don't trail off, express yourself clearly, be assertive when criticized.It's not just about your voice, Miller says. It's about your appearance, your manner, and your way of dealing with feeling less than confident. Washington Business Journal, Washington Business Journal, 2006/03/10When women are promoted or move up in power, too often they find they aren't taken seriously when they speak, author Susan Miller says. Why? Maybe they don't know how to enter a conference room confidently. Or they might be too soft-spoken. The answer, Miller says, isn't speaking louder. It's speaking better. Miller discusses seven skills, ranging from controlling one's breath to how to listen to others.Indianapolis Star, Indianapolis Star, 2006/03/22Dr. Miller's background as a voice trainer lends to chapters which survey the finer points of public speaking, with chapters covering how to clarify speech, enunciate clearly, and project the voice. Polish speaking skills and professional skills alike with BE HEARD THE FIRST TIME which also works for the home. Midwest Book Review, Midwest Book Review, 2006/04Susan Miller, a voice coach, teaches speaking strategies that include breath and pitch control. The author of Be Heard the First Time: The Woman's Guide to Powerful Speaking, says women often underestimate how important posture and presence are in delivering a message. Another tip: Be aware of your voice volume. You'll get the right level by comparing your volume to other speakers. Co-workers will tune you out if you speak too softly and get annoyed if you speak too loudly. Either way, the message gets lost.Orange County (CA) Register, Orange County (CA) Register, 2006/05/21 Women often precede statements with humbling remarks and sometimes speak so timidly that they re not noticed at conference meetings, Susan D. Miller writes in Be Heard the First Time. . . Miller shares these tips. Triangle Magazine, 2006/07/01 Talk Is Cheap in Politics, But a Deep Voice Helps To gauge what the candidates' voices say about their appeal, The Wall Street Journal asked Washington voice coach Susan Miller of VoiceTrainer LLC to analyze the voices of seven Democrats and five Republicans by pitch, speed, and two measures of variability -- how loud and soft their voices are, and how high and low they go The vocal-cord primary, like the campaign itself so far, is inconclusive. But our unscientific poll of Ms. Miller and other leading voice experts suggests: Among the Republicans, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's and television actor Thompson's baritones win on authority, but lose on energy. On the Democratic side, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's voices convey caring. But Mrs. Clinton can sound shrill and Mr. Obama can lack forcefulness. Wall Street Journal, 2007/11/03.…

In Nonstop Networking author and personal marketing consultant, Andrea Nierenberg, reveals unique and easy-to-use strategies for linking-up with people in order to achieve mutual personal and professional goals. Based on five simple steps, Andrea s system is different from other networking techniques in that it focuses on comfortable and familiar techniques for building relationships and not on handing out business cards and asking for referrals. Readers will discover positive ways to network anywhere, any time and the secret of how to build relationships that will improve their life, luck, and career. Learn twelve techniques to use when approaching a room full of strangers, master eight sure-fire communications skills, discover the types of people you need in your network (and that may already be a part of your circle of contacts.) Are you shy or introverted? Learn networking techniques that capitalize on your natural abilities. Are you anxious about keeping track of all your contacts? Andrea presents an elegantly simple system for organizing and staying in touch with everyone in your network. Easy to read with many examples of personal success stories throughout, Nonstop Networking is a must have for recent graduates, job seekers, career changers, consultants, entrepreneurs, or anyone with a personal or professional goal to achieve.REVIEWS Andrea Nierenberg, author of Nonstop Networking: How to Improve Your Life, Luck and Career, offers these tips to revelers: * Keep your shirt on. It's OK to loosen a tie or kick off heels. But skin-tight and skin-baring fashions are no-nos for women. Guys, keep everything buttoned and zipped. * Limit libations. Nothing spells a bad review like a-l-c-o-h-o-l. * Ho, ho, ho, it's almost review time. Make sure you say hello to your boss, his/her boss (who approves your raise) and colleagues you haven't seen for a while. * Bring your significant other if possible. It's the No. 1 way to stay out of trouble. * Opt for early retirement. Leave while the night is young.Molly Woulfe, Northwest Indiana Times, 2004/12Why waste time on the road?

Networking is a state of mind, said Ms. Nierenberg, author of Nonstop Networking: How to Improve Your Life, Luck and Career and the forthcoming Million Dollar Networking. Coeli Carr, The New York Times, 2005/03/13You've got the social aspect of networking figured out. You've got functions on the calendar, business cards in hand and referrals to make. But at some point, you need to organize your contacts to make the most of your efforts, says Andrea Nierenberg, author of Nonstop Networking. The Courier Post (Camden, NJ), The Courier Post (Camden, NJ), 2005/04/21Networking is simply an overused and poorly understood term for exercising good people skills and building good relationships.
