"This book doesn't waste time on abstract theories-it shares specific suggestions on how we can create a sense of rapport, stay focused on solutions instead of fault, and motivate people to work together. Every classroom and library should have a copy."
-Tamara Hall, M.Ed., educational consultant and author of When Life Kicks, Kick Back
"As a former high school counselor, I can vouch for the need for this book. I've mediated so many conflicts that resulted from people not knowing how to talk to each other. I highly recommend that Tongue Fu! at School become a required text for teachers, students, and educational personnel. Everyone will benefit."
-Joe Loverde, adjunct professor of education, Chapman University
"At the heart of how we relate to each other is how we communicate. The words of educators are especially potent, with the power to inspire children to reach for dreams or leave them mired in self-doubt. So what's an educator to do? Read Sam Horn's book! It provides critical guidance on how to communicate with respect and practice 'verbal diplomacy,' critical life skills. Must reading!"
-Eileen Gale Kugler, author of Debunking the Middle-class Myth: Why Diverse Schools Are Good for All Kids

Sam is a sought-after expert on the topic of communication. Her insights have been featured on dozens of radio and TV shows including National Public Radio, USA Radio Network, and To Tell The Truth, where she and her Tongue Fu! team stumped the panel.

Most importantly, Sam loves what she does and it shows. Her books and presentations are known for being full of fun, fascinating, real-life ideas people are motivated to put into use immediately on and off the job.
