In a world where words have the power to inspire, unite, or divide, the ability to communicate effectively is more than just a soft skill—it’s a game-changer. That’s the driving message behind Say It Skillfully: Speak Up. Make Your Words Matter. Win Together, the transformative new book by communication expert Molly Tschang and leadership authority Marshall Goldsmith.
Featuring a foreword by Ken Blanchard—renowned leadership thinker whose teachings have touched millions—and an epilogue by Alan Mulally, the iconic former CEO of Ford and Boeing, the book emphasizes one truth: clear, impactful communication can elevate relationships, organizations, and results.
At its heart, Say It Skillfully is a practical and empowering guide for professionals at every level. Whether you’re steering a company or contributing to a team, this book equips you with the tools to communicate with intention, confidence, and authenticity. It doesn’t just focus on speaking—it’s about truly connecting, influencing others, and driving meaningful outcomes.
Molly Tschang, a respected executive coach, and Marshall Goldsmith, a globally recognized leadership coach, combine their decades of expertise to create a compelling blueprint for communication mastery.
One of the book’s central themes is the value of courageous conversations—those tough, uncomfortable discussions that many avoid. Tschang and Goldsmith offer readers techniques to navigate these moments with clarity and composure, transforming potential tension into opportunities for mutual growth and trust.
Another powerful insight is the nuanced art of feedback. The authors redefine feedback as a catalyst for development—when delivered with empathy and received with openness. Through real-life techniques, readers learn to offer constructive input without sparking defensiveness, and to embrace criticism as a path to improvement.
Equally important is the emphasis on cultivating a culture of open, honest dialogue. The authors stress that high-performing organizations are built on trust and transparency. With actionable strategies, they guide leaders on how to foster environments where voices are heard, ideas are welcomed, and respect is the norm.
What sets Say It Skillfully apart is its blend of relatable examples and practical guidance. The book bridges theory with application, helping readers integrate its lessons into everyday professional interactions.
