About this title

Synopsis

Master the mindsets and practices of the world's best public speakers

A team of veteran communication and speaking coaches delivers a groundbreaking new framework to becoming a great communicator. Thanks to the authors' decades of experience, readers will discover the six essential threshold concepts needed to give talks like the best TED speakers and Fortune 500 leaders.

Their practical and accessible approach will help you establish powerful habits in your speaking practice. You'll understand what's preventing you from being influential and persuasive, and build a new foundation toward being a highly effective communicator.

This trailblazing book goes beyond cliches like “overcome your fear” and obvious advice like “don't read your speech.” It dives deep into the transformative, integrative, and challenging ideas that will enable you to level up your speaking.

Included here are:

• Deep explanations of what it takes to become an effective communicator
• Insights into the dispositions, behaviors, and skills that great speakers consistently demonstrate and how to develop them in yourself
• Expert guidance on how to use the latest technologies to augment your public speaking development

A comprehensive framework for learning public speaking, The Motivated Speaker is the perfect resource for working professionals and leaders who want to learn to speak persuasively, confidently, clearly, and compellingly.
