NOTE: I have instructed all of this book’s distributors and sellers to offer Insider Strategies for the Confident Communicator at no charge. However, one of the major retailers occasionally slaps a price tag on it for no apparent reason. I call this to their attention when I notice it, but it can take them some time to fall back into line. If you should ever encounter someone trying to charge you for this book, do two things: 1) Notify me with specifics so I can take necessary action; 2) use one of the other options listed on this page to download the book with my compliments.
