Speaking to Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice

By: Dr. Laura Sicola

Narrated by: Laura Sicola

Publisher's summary

When you speak, whether on stage, in a meeting, or on the telephone, ask yourself:

• Do you feel confident and captivate your audience?
• Do you command the room naturally, and feel like you are completely connecting with your audience?
• Do you feel like you get the full respect you deserve and the results you want?
• Are you recognized as a leader that people genuinely want to follow and support?
• Have you built a positive, sustainable corporate culture center around loyal, cooperative and effective teams, and strong, lasting client relationships?
• Have you reached your greatest potential?

If you’re like most people, your response to many and even most of these questions is, No, but I want to! If that’s the case, then this audiobook is for you. Speaking to Influence is all about helping you understand how the way that you speak has a powerful effect on your ability to influence your surroundings, your relationships, your reputation, and your potential to succeed. If you feel stuck, like you’ve hit a plateau in life then this audiobook will show you how to take a step back and assess how your current style of communication is keeping you from achieving the results you want and maximizing your powers of influence.

In Speaking to Influence, Dr. Laura Sicola walks you through the three key channels of speech communication and how they need to work together for people not just to get it when you talk, but also to get you. You’ll explore strategies in storytelling for impact, how people can see what you look like even when you’re talking on the telephone, hidden fillers to avoid, and how to identify and control common vocal habits that creep into your speech and undermine your credibility.

Author is very fast in her explanation! Not worth it!

Author is very fast in her explanation, no pauses, small chapters with not that much use! Not worth it!
