In this book, she shows how anyone can learn to become a better public speaker by harnessing the power of storytelling. Human connection starts with stories and being able to tell them. Being compelling, clear and impactful when you speak is a skill everyone needs to develop, to stay relevant and effect change in the workplace, your community and beyond. It's something that many activists and people engaged in social change already know well: you can have all the data and facts in the world, but it's stories that move the needle. Stories have the power to build empathy, help to shift mindsets and open up new possibilities. How To Speak So Others Listen provides a practical toolkit for anyone and everyone who wants to get better at public speaking, whatever that looks like for you. This book will also help you to believe that what you have to say is worth saying, and show you how to find the power of your own unique voice, to bring about positive change in your own life and the world around you.
