"Val Wright has made the ultimate guide to business communication. Words That Work is full of suggestions and alternative statements that open up communication. I am excited to have this new tool that will help me improve my ability to ask questions and affirm what others are saying."
Rachel Canales, Chief of Staff, Global Accounts / Chief Customer Advocate, Lenovo
"Val Wright has been an immensely valuable strategic advisor to me surrounding innovation and leadership through acquisitions and an IPO. I have considered her previous books required reading for any executive responsible for leading people through growth and change, and her clear, insightful voice will put her new book on the top of my recommended reading list. In her characteristic style, Wright provides candid advice every leader needs to navigate innovation, communicate with impact, harness emotions, and actively manage external and internal communications. The easy-to-read format addresses the many situations executives will go through when they are asked to create outcomes that stretch beyond the current trajectory of the business."
John Schneider, Chief Marketing Officer, Betterworks
"This book is a culmination of the wise counsel Val Wright has given me over the last few years. Just the right words at the exact right moment. Every leader needs to read this book and benefit from its confidence-building positivity. The world needs to hear from more incredible, badass, uplifting women like Val Wright. "
Ronalee Zarate-Bayani, Chief Marketing Officer, Newlight Technologies
"Val Wright's third book sets us on a path to the essential art of truth-telling in business. I've used Wright's words in many situations and it's true, they do just work! The practical examples in this book will allow every leader to speak more boldly, which will grow their business and career."
