Drop the Pink Elephant: 15 Ways to Say What You Mean...and Mean What You Say

Enhance communication, banish conversational clutter.

If you've ever felt your words get tangled up or misunderstood, "Drop the Pink Elephant" could be like a breath of fresh air. Bill McFarlan offers you a plunger to clear the blocks in your verbal pipelines. By focusing on your negatives—the 'Pink Elephants'—and teaching you to speak more clearly and effectively, this book could transform not just how you talk, but how you're heard. Whether it's personal chats or professional discourse, you're likely to walk away with strategies to convey your thoughts more accurately and impactfully.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
