    This book will inspire you to: prepare for the most common scenarios you'll encounter; step in when you witness untoward behavior; address and redirect an inappropriate conversation; break ingrained conversational habits like apologizing and complimenting; deal with interrupters and overspeakers; and know when to engage—and how to respond.
