The Difference

Jean Chatzky speaks in crisp tones as she demystifies the gap between the average person and the successful people one continually hears about in the media. Chatzky's pace varies from sentence to sentence as she pauses to emphasize certain words for dramatic effect and, thereby, engages the listener. Her tone is gentle, almost tender in sections where she assesses the qualities of the wealthy that contribute to their success, which often appear mysterious to those who observe their triumphs from afar. Each sentence ends on an upward note, a style that propels the listener forward. In the interactive sections of the production, Chatzky clearly presents important exercises on success and prosperity that are designed for listener reflection. M.R.
