Perfect for you if...

  • You're job hunting or early in your career and need concrete language to feel confident in interviews and with your boss.
  • You freeze up in professional conversations and benefit from having exact phrases to adapt rather than starting from scratch.
  • You want to negotiate salary, set boundaries, or advocate for yourself but worry you'll say the wrong thing.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer learning communication through theory and reflection rather than ready-made scripts to adapt.
  • You're already a seasoned executive comfortable with workplace dynamics and improvising tough conversations.
  • You're looking for deep career strategy or industry-specific advice rather than conversational templates.

About this book

From the creator of AdviceWithErin, this book provides word-for-word scripts for professional communication. It addresses common workplace situations where people struggle to find the right words: job interviews, salary negotiations, setting boundaries with coworkers, self-advocacy, and other office challenges. Erin McGoff offers customizable scripts designed to help readers navigate the unwritten rules of workplace communication. The book teaches how to communicate effectively at each stage of career development, from initial interviews through ongoing professional interactions. McGoff argues that stellar communication is a valuable skill that few people are formally taught. By learning the specific language and phrasing needed for different workplace scenarios, readers can approach their careers with greater confidence.
