Great information!
Timmy Thornton Jr. –
I bought this for my sister who is just graduating high school and she said that was what she needed.
Patrice Harris –
At a time in my life when I needed to hear it most, Valorie basically gave me that get it together sister speech I desperately needed. To be honest the book didn’t include anything I hadn’t already known but the delivery and use of pertinent examples encouraged me to lean closer to myself for the tools I need to be successful, resilient and joyful.
Deitra Dean –
I enjoyed this piece, It is similar to her other piece Successful women think differently. I have all of the books she has written. It is more than just speaking up for yourself, it will also encourage you to go after what you want.
Nikki –
I’m a woman with a career and this is a very powerful book. I work in a man-dominant work environment and once I had a fear of judgement and couldn’t speak my mind. Since I read this book, I’m inspired and be able to speak up during a meeting. When I’m authentic and sincere, there would be no judgement and there were even someone else further backed me up supportively. I tend to be a people pleaser and this book realized me that it’s okay not to be liked for becoming a successful woman…how? You can only find out by yourself. I would recommend it to anyone.
Rossy W Caamano –
Really good book. Makes you review yourself, challenges you. Gives new perspectives. Highly recommended for women in business and tough competitive work environment.

capable of far more than you know, author Valerie Burton emphasizes the importance of communication and the power of words to strengthen successes and minimize failures. Full of research, personal stories and reliance on Scripture, Successful Women Speak Differently is organized into chapters focusing on the 9 habits that build confidence, courage and influence. With each chapter introducing the key factors, scripts for success, points every woman should know, self-coaching strategies, and a vital aspect to remember, this book is a powerful tool.A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:Having read several of her previous books, I know Valerie Burton uses a no-nonsense direction to obtaining success. As a life coach who encourages, guides, and ultimately delivers, her books are well written, interesting, organized and to the point. Heralding and defining the importance of communication, Successful Women Speak Differently is full of necessary and dynamic directives for strength, confidence and success. Perfect for most everyone to read as it deals with networking, interviewing, and communicating both in personal relationships and work environments. Definitely a book I will refer to again and again; a lot of knowledge is packed into this mighty book.RATING:4.5 (out of 5) pennies*I received a complimentary copy of Successful Women Speak Differently from Harvest House Publishers for my honest review*

Miss E –
I absolutely LOVE this book. I have not ready it fully through becauseI am taking my time to fully read and absorb all of the tips. The author points out many things you may not even realize you do that communicate a different message than you may intent. I have recommeded this book to many friends and will have my teenage daughter read this as she prepares for college and the real world

I was looking for a book to enhance my communication when I came across this book. The delivery of the information keeps you interested and engaged. This book will live on my nightstand so that I can reference it often. Valorie Burton is my new favorite author! I’ve already sent a copy to my daughter.
Dorothea Morris –
Great Book
ProWriter –
I gave this book a 5 Star because I honestly have never read a book, and it take as long as it did to read it (over 3 months), that transformed my life after reading every passage! I am not exaggerating. I would read a portion; forget what I have read; go on doing life; weeks later, I would remember the book; open it up to review where I left off; and find that exactly what was written took place in the weeks prior and I followed the advice to the T. The information was being planted directly into my subconscious!I began to realize that there is something very special about this book. I began to read more often — looking forward to what I’d learned and lived out. And it remained so up until the very last word in the very last chapter.I have to say it again: There is something very special about this book. I’m so glad I took a leap of faith and purchased it and remained faithful to read it to the end. Many chains were broken. Many barriers bulldozed. And the result was softened soil, allowing seeds to be planted (in the subconscious) which took root immediately. I thank God for his faithfulness, and choosing Ms. Burton for this divine favor. Well done, His faithful servant. Well done.

I have read all of Valorie Burton’s books and have gained a lot of life skills from each and this one is no exception. It is filled with many useful and challenging suggestion for …. and lasting self improvements. Although the book contains examples and questions used in other books, there are still many “nuggets” of gold found though out the read. Valorie always asks questions that make you stop reflect and think. And there are many opportunities to have those “ah-ha” moments. Well worth the purchase and the read. Highly recommend this book.
Alicia –
This book was great!
MsYoung –
This book is so awesome. It does tell you things that you already know and things that are common sense however the content is excellent. Would recommend this book as a gift and to hand down to someone that you are mentoring.
Judi –
Outstanding product. Exactly what I expected to receive and received it quickly!
More_Than_A_Review –
My review of Successful Women Speak Differently by Valorie Burton.Have you wondered what successful women do differently than the average woman? Is it nature or nuture? Is this something that we can learn?Valorie discovered that successful women do two things differently. In this book she shares real life stories from women, practical relevant research, coaching questions and spiritual insights. In addition, she shares habits of successful women and how to incorporate them in our own life.“The most successful people make wise decisions early in life and manage those decisions for the rest of their lives” John Maxwell. This is great advice for millennial’s and still gives hope to those that are later in life.Your ability to influence people is directly correlated with whether or not they like you. She recommends a way to increase your influence is praise the good you see in other people. Your pattern of speech can predict the likelihood of your success. Women will often soften their statements to almost make it sound like a question or make it sound as if they are uncertain. She challenges us to own our statements, own our ideas and advocate for them. She is a strong believer in that your thoughts will also shape your actions. So become aware of your thoughts and redirect them to productive ones. When you have something really important that you need to get across, she recommends practicing it and even sometimes recording it to hear how it sounds. A strong voice gets interrupted less often and commands more attention. Some practical ways to improve your voice essence; Breathe correctly, stand up straight, lower your pitch, slow down (personally, this is my biggest issue).You’ve probably seen were two people say exactly the same thing but their statements have two different meanings and are heard differently by others. It’s the subtle changes that can make a difference. One of the best ways to improve your vocal essence is to listen to yourself and record it. She also recommends to take a good hard look at yourself to see if you need to improve your personal grooming; your posture and your wardrobe.Another great tip I got from this book was to not fill the silence. Often we will talk aimlessly to cover it up especially if we are nervous. In silence, a breakthrough can emerge. Another tip was is to tune out the distractions and give your whole attention to the conversation. I think in today’s world we are often distracted by our cell phones. To fully be in the conversation is a great way to build relationships.She recommends that exercise reduces negative energy. I’m a firm believer in that since I started running a few years ago and it definitely helps me with stress.She believes that successful women do two things differently than the average woman. They think differently about how they face challenges and opportunities and they speak differently both in every day conversation and in crucial conversations at work.The confidence with which they communicate which includes their presence, credibility and voice can be far more influential than their talents or efforts.This is my first book by Valorie Burton. She is the author of 9 books and another one that I plan to read is Successful Women Think Differently. I recommend the book and have already started implementing some of her tips.

Although I haven’t finished reading this book (it’s one of those that you should take your time to digest), I love this book. It makes you take a deep look into yourself and how you present yourself among other things. So far so good!

Valorie Burton Book Review:Successful Women Speak Differently : 9 Habits That Build Confidence, Courage & InfluenceDon’t be fooled- this is not just another self-help book that requires you to become more like someone else to find meaning and success. Nestled under the cover of Valorie Burton’s latest book Successful Women Speak Differently is a potent arsenal of insights and tools that exceeds its promise of building your confidence, courage and influence to potentially transforming your authentic voice and life success. Building off of her masterful coaching expertise, Valorie offers 9 critical habits for success such as “Ask for What You Want”, “Learn to Flip the Script” and “Don’t Just Speak Positively, Speak Accurately” with in-depth, research-based yet relevant recommendations to integrate these habits right now in your life. The book is a “Swiss army knife” that cuts through the confusing internal, societal and gendered noise that keeps so many talented women settling, silent, stuck and sorry for it. Instead, Valorie heralds a call out to women of all ages, to elevate and own their voice – whether it is manifested in their thoughts, verbal, non-verbal, electronic communication and offers powerful strategies and practical skills not taught in school or in the workplace. Valorie drops sound nuggets of advice, enlivens them with case studies, compelling relatable and personal stories, coaching prompts, and beckons the reader to do this important work for themselves and ultimately, to close the gap between their abilities and possibilities. Make no mistake, you will be challenged as she speaks the truth in love on the pages and changed for the better as she catalyzes growth in her signature style- the trusted voice of wisdom in the warmth of an invested coach and friend. Successful Women Speak Differently: 9 Habits That Build Confidence, Courage and Influence is a must-read for anyone – and especially the women we love- mothers, daughters, wives, friends, sisters- who are tired of shrinking or of being passed over or in any area of life and who wants to show up more powerfully in the world. You will emerge armed and courageous to deal with whatever you face, once and for all, and to connect more deeply with yourself and others. Regardless of season in life, this a rich resource for living that will align you to your highest and best self, a game-changer headed straight to the best-seller list!

We can never get enough of proper teaching on our words. Our words should always line up with the word of God. Valorie Burton really makes it plain while sharing her knowledge. I am grateful to have come across this author and will be recommending her works.

Valorie has done it again! I must say that no matter what she writes you can never go wrong in getting her book. I have everything she’s written and I have purchased them for my friends and recommend her books to everyone whose looking to make a change to grow and create the life that only you can create with wise counsel.

Outstanding. I recommend this for women in all stages of their careers. This book delivers on all fronts. I just bought a copy for my daughter–this is the stuff they don’t teach anymore–so valuable. The book is well written, well organized with fresh and substantive content. Have a pen and highlighter in hand. I’d love to be one of her coaching clients. Can’t wait to read her other books!

I enjoyed reading this book it is very encouraging I leaned a lot about my self.It is motivating and a good read. I would buy this book again.
K. Hormell –
Smart advice and well written. A book to read and take to heart. I will re-read and review these nine positive habits often, to deepen my learning and make these habits second nature.
Amazon Customer –
Very inspirational!! Encouraging
Rosalind Stokes –
outstanding I ordered the audio as well so I can Listen while driving and flying

I am about 80% through this book, and it’s been such a joy to read. Others have remarked about the insertion of faith Burton uses to emphasize the points she makes, but that is in line with my views, so I don’t find it troublesome. I also don’t see it as being too much faith for someone whose life doesn’t involve religion. It’s a perfect balance.Similarly, if you’re in your early 20s, 30s, 40s, or considering closing out your career days in your 50s to move on to retirement or at least withdrawing from your chosen career, this book will help re-center you if you need it. Many of the lessons Burton mentions in this book are ones I’ve heard of and learned before, but I am obviously not perfect, hence why I sought out this book. She frames the pitfalls of what many of us have done in the past – the social media flubs, the inability to acknowledge our truths, etc. – in ways that are relatable and make it easy to commit to not setting such traps for yourself again. I’m tempted to write to her personally to say thanks. A definite gem of a read.

This book exceeded my expectations! Valorie covered every area of communication necessary for success from using your words, when to be silent, improving your appearance, the importance of your presence and more.It highly impacted me as I have realized where my speech was not in line with that of a successful woman.I strongly recommend this book for any woman who is interested in taking her personal life, family life, career to another level.

Great tips for speaking. Easy to follow.

This book was very interesting. It brought about a bit of contemplation on my part. I started really paying attention to the words that originate from me and also to the words that I allow in my sphere. One of my friends has a real “potty mouth” at times, and for years I have been cringing at her language when she becomes emotional. After reading this book, I reminded her that we are educated women and need to speak as such. She may change her language; she may not. But I am clear that I do not have to listen to her offensive outbursts.

I’m BEYOND glad I was able to take in the lessons and wisdom in this book. Whereas it provides a context that enables readers to fully understand just why the successful woman speaks as she does and how that can turn into actionable steps through the fulfilling but challenging coaching questions at the end of each chapter. Couldn’t recommend this book enough!!!

Great read for someone who values practical teachings, specific how-tos, personal experience, spiritual guidance, and examples of confidence voices, which of course are the most egoless. Thank you for writing this, Valorie Burton! Cheers to many more years of success.
Tiffani Palmer –
This is a great book that offers a lot of insight and tips on how to elevate your level of success! If you’re ready, it will rock you out of your comfort zone and cause you to look and dissect every area of your life that is not living up to par with the way a success woman speaks and behaves. Definitely a must read!
