"Nick Morgan's Trust Me approaches corporate and executive communication from a new and different perspective, that of the professional performer. His approach acknowledges the realities of modern business and, once you get beyond the first few uncomfortable steps where you're thinking of a thousand things at once, you will communicate more openly, authentically, and charismatically." --Technology & Society (www.techsoc.com/trustme.htm )
