If you want toincrease the effectiveness of your professional and personal interactions, takea different action. Choose different words. This book demonstrates how you can consciously improve theoutcomes of your conversations and experiences simply by paying attention to theeffects of language and mindfully selecting words thatconnect-not disrupt.

ABC reveals key word substitutions that support makingconnections, first with yourself and then with others. The book offers examplesof how the choices you make in short phrases and even single words can make a significantdifference in the way we relate to one another.
