We are grateful to have written this book. It has truly been a formative, lovely challenge that lets us communicate what we have discovered and are still learning. So many have helped us on this journey that it is impossible to name them all. Many thanks to all of you, including the following important contributors. Dr. Robyn Walker, Editor of the International Journal of Business Communication, was instrumental in developing, not only the book, but also in publishing motivating language research.
