The subheading says it's for women but this is actually a book
for anyone who wants to effectively communicate their ideas, whether
that's to one other person, to a room full of students or executives
or to a national television audience.
Working in a highly competitive film industry
where communication is everything--where ideas are "pitched"
and opinions bought and sold--I've found Ms. Harrow's advice on getting
the message across with clarity and integrity to be an extraordinary
aid. The deftly covered range of public relations situations and examples
makes Harrow's book eminently practical; the fact that she's put her
soul into it makes it priceless.
--Will Csaklos, Senior Creative Executive, Pixar Animation Studios
I bought your book Sell Yourself without
Selling Your Soul, and only had time to skim it, but you inspired me
to do some PR locally and I actually got an NBC affiliate to do a story
on me within a week, which ran in 12 markets 20 times in one month!
I've gotten my local newspaper to do stories or news briefs on me almost
monthly. You're GREAT! I really thank you for all the fabulous resources
you put on your website and your GREAT newsletter. You're the best I've
ever seen!

I have read "Sell Yourself Without
Selling Your Soul" from cover to cover and am now doing a second
reading. Chapters eight and eleven
have been an invaluable asset to me. I have had several radio interviews
and I want you to know that these two chapters have directly contributed
to my success with those interviews. Read more:
I know, from reading your materials, the information you provide appeals
to people like myself, people who desire useful and relevant information
for all areas of their life whether it be work, play, politics, social,
or spiritual, people who want useful information on how to be more successful;
The information you provide is all about faith
and empowerment. You see, I took off from working on my $50 thousand
dollar a year job as a public high school teacher last year to do what
I have always wanted to do, write. I stepped out on faith, marched into
my director's office and requested a leave of absence for the 2004-2005
school year. Well, this school year has ended and I have two books for
sale on Amazon.com, but that took a lot of faith in my potential and
the gift that God has given me. I found this same theme of faith buried
in the pages of "Sell Yourself Without Selling Your Soul",
and I found myself empowered. Your book empowers the reader with the
tools (knowledge) that are needed to bring about success. I am so grateful
for discovering you and your wonderful resources to help me in accomplishing
my goals, and I would love to be instrumental in introducing others
to you and your powerful products.
--Sherrie Rita Marshall,
Author of Invisible Chains:
Chained To A Lie
I wanted to write to let you know how much I enjoyed your book,
Sell Yourself Without Selling Your Soul. Your tips were very
helpful in placing an article with the Wall Street Journal.I have the triple distinction of
(1) being in the World Trade Center on the morning of 9-11 when the
planes struck the towers, (2) living in the immediate impact zone of
the World Trade Center and being evacuated while my neighborhood was
closed by civil authority for months after the attacks and (3) owning
a small business in the area.
Many small businesses in Lower Manhattan ceased operations as a consequence
of 9-11. I was one of the lucky ones. I had a comprehensive and cost-effective
contingency plan in place, which saved my business. I credit this foresight
to my previous work experience. I lived and worked in Zurich, Switzerland
where I was a senior executive of the Swiss Reinsurance Company and
an expert on business risk management. I provided significant pro bono
assistance to Lower Manhattan small businesses in the months after 9-11.
Then to scale our outreach and provide more proactive assistance, my
IT expert and I wrote Contingency Planning and Disaster Recovery: A
Small Business Guide (John Wiley & Sons, Inc.). It is the only book
in print dealing with the unique needs of small businesses in this respect.
I assigned my share of the author's royalties to endow an academic program
in my dad's name, such that two groups would benefit from the book:
needy students and under-resourced small business owners.
I am committed to helping small businesses across the country with
the benefit of our hard-earned experience. Your book was very helpful
to me in getting that message out! Thank you again.
