A practical and empowering guide to public speaking and becoming a more effective, persuasive communicator in all areas of life.

The world is full of brilliant people whose ideas are never heard. This book is designed to make sure that you're not one of them.

Even for the most self-confident among us, public speaking can be a nerve-racking experience. Whether you are speaking to a large audience, within a group, or in a one-to-one conversation, the way you communicate your ideas—as much as the ideas themselves—can determine success or failure.

In this invaluable guide from two of today's most sought-after communication experts, you'll learn to master three core principles that can be applied in a wide variety of situations:

• Content: Construct a clear and compelling architecture of ideas that leads your listener through a memorable emotional experience.
• Delivery: Use your voice and body in ways that engage your audience and naturally support your message.
• State: Bring yourself into a peak-performance condition. The way you feel when you communicate is one of the most frequently overlooked components of effective communication.

Accessible, inspiring, and filled with useful tips, As We Speak will help you discover your authentic voice and learn to convey your ideas in the most powerful and unforgettable way possible.
