Read on its own, the book delivers a fine message – present yourself with grace, dignity, kindness, and compassion. Remember that the way you carry yourself and behave does have an impact on others. While I think Scott tries not to be preachy, some may be turned off by her formality.
I commend Scott for including an anecdote about a speaking engagement at a TEDx conference which did not turn out at all as she had expected. Rather than get flustered or act like a diva because the conference did not fit her expectations, Scott showed real poise, realized her expectations had been unrealistic and ended up not only having a learning experience, but an enjoyable one as well. (I contrast this with a blog post I read earlier this week from someone I follow who took to the web to go on a rant when a recent speaking engagement didn’t meet her expectations. Quite a difference.)
If you’re interested in the subject matter, Scott’s books provide a fine primer. There’s no need to read all three though. Pick up the one that looks most interesting to you and you’ll be set.
2.5 stars rounded up to 3.
Thank to you NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for a galley of this book in exchange for an honest review.
