Currently available for order internationally. Also available in German translation.
The insights in this book make it easier for women to achieve a powerful trifecta – by choosing specific ‘foundational’ body language that creates both the outward expression of confidence and authenticity and an internal feeling of calm and clarity making it easier to move more quickly and naturally toward lasting change.
There are insights and practical exercises to refine gesture, movement, eye contact, posture, voice, facial expression, dealing with confrontation, cultivating presence, and more.
So what can you expect to gain from reading this book?
My aim with this book is to show you how vital it is to become aware of your body language and communication skills so that you can change default habits that might not be serving you and find alternative ways that create an outward expression of confidence and an internal feeling of ease and calm. Think: Change your body, change your mind and, as well, Change your body, change their minds.
It will become your go-to body-language toolkit that you can call on when you need it most.

Reviews for PowerSkills
“Juliet Erickson always makes dealing with challenges sound so easy and sensible you wonder why you haven’t thought of her solutions for yourself. In Power Skills she suggests tiny changes in the way you sit, stand, talk and make eye contact that will make all the difference to the way you deal with people, and to the way they react to you. A truly inspiring book.”

The Nimble Negotiator: Beat Negotiation At Its Own Game
Turn a challenge into an opportunity with the guidance of communication expert Juliet Erickson in The Nimble Negotiator.
As she puts it, “Negotiating can be a bit of an enigma wrapped up in fear and dipped in mystery sauce.” But through her playful, easy-to-read guide, you get to peek at negotiation’s playbook and learn to beat it at its own game.
Whether you’re dealing with obstacles at work or in your everyday personal life, learning how to effectively communicate what you want is a necessary skill, if you want to achieve success. When it comes to negotiating, however, there isn’t a tried-and-true tactic or a one-size-fits-all process; it truly is an art form. Thankfully, Erickson can teach you how to adroitly adapt to the different situations you face.
Learn to be present rather than flee or hide; to engage rather than react; to listen and seek clarity rather than simply confront.
Drawing from over twenty years of experience as a communication specialist, Erickson describes the best and worst negotiators she’s encountered, and suggests tips and tools that will help you stand with the best of them.
Don’t let fear stand in your way. Let The Nimble Negotiator open the door to better relationships and successful living.

Nine Ways to Walk Around a Boulder: Using communication skills to change your life
All of us face personal challenges in our lives that seem like boulders – immovable objects that stop us from achieving our goals. Often we react by pushing and shoving in the hope of shifting them, even though we know that shoving didn’t work last time and isn’t going to work now. Nine Ways to Walk around a Boulder doesn’t claim to solve all our problems. Instead, it offers a unique blend of up-to-the-minute communication techniques and an understanding of human nature that is as old as time. With chapters including ‘If you don’t ask you don’t get’, ‘Getting the message across’ and ‘Confrontation is an invitation’, it encourages us to deal with obstacles, working around what we can’t walk through and making real changes in our lives in unexpected ways. – Barnes & Noble

The book will give you ways to “walk around what you can’t walk through.” Making even tiny changes in behaviors that don’t serve us can be crucial to our professional and social lives and the key to our success in both. No matter if you are a student, housewife or a CEO, the boulders that get in your way are very similar – the good news is, so are the ways you walk around them.
