“Intelligence is the ability to discern, to act, and to learn. Syntax sharpens all three.”
—Lucy Freedman, author of Smart Work: The Syntax Guide to Influence
Our most important goals rest on our ability to coordinate with each other. We each bring our own ways of communicating. Syntax helps us bridge differences and achieve brilliantly by giving us a shared language for how to get things done.
The concept and practice of Syntax is the five part Structure – the behavioral system – that brings out our collective intelligence and accelerates our ability to achieve our chosen goals.
Specifically, the Syntax for Change enables people to define shared goals, negotiate beneficial agreements, strengthen mutual understanding, take ownership of their work, and create positive cultures where people thrive.
Author Lucy Freedman has taken the mystery out of great communication.
In Smart Work, she reveals the five behavioral categories that set outstanding communicators apart from the crowd. Addressing these categories in logical sequence and showing how to become skilled at each one, Freedman shows clearly how you can achieve influence by understanding the natural structure of human communication.
Called the “bible” for highly effective communication, Smart Work is a must-read for anyone seeking to communicate successfully in one-to-one or group settings. Order your copy directly from the publisher, in paperback, e-book, or kindle format.

it doesn’t really work for any of us.
That’s why we need to be good at communicating,
collaborating, cooperating, and being conscious.”
—Lucy Freedman
