Are we surrounded by too many words, the wrong words, unintelligible words? Dan Roam thinks so. He joins us to discuss his new book, “BLAH, BLAH, BLAH: What To Do When Words Don’t Work.“

About The Book:
“Blah-blah-blah” is a the misuse, overuse, or base of spoken language – and it is taking over our lives. My book introduces Vivid Thinking, a simple set of tools that help us dispel the noise, avoid the chatter, and learn to be vibrantly clear in our own thinking.
Vivid Thinking is a mnemonic that stands for Visual-Verbal-Interdependent Thinking. Vivid means we can better understand the complex problems of today by both talking about them and drawing them. The tools in this book show us exactly how to do both.
For leaders, managers, educators, salespeople, students, politicians, and markets, it has never been more important to be vividly clear. And there has never been a book that made being clear so vivid.
