Do you want to be a more confident and compelling speaker? Do you need to present yourself and your ideas with greater impact? Drawing on his years of coaching executives, Christopher Witt’s original and entertaining guide guides you through not just how to make a speech but why and when you should make one. As a leader, or an aspiring leader, your ability to lead goes hand in hand with your ability to get your message across no matter what size audience you’re addressing.
Christopher Witt’s advice will stick in your mind long after you’ve finished reading his book and will help you to take your game to the next level.
o You are the message. Who you are – your character, experience, values - shapes the message your listeners hear.
o Content is king. Delivery is important, but it is only the helpful or unhelpful servant of your message. So build each speed around one – and only one – ‘Big idea’.
o A confused mind always says no. When you want your listeners to say yes, you’ve got to make them understand what you want them to do and why they should care.
o Dare to do the unexpected. Leaders know the rules, and they know when, why and how to break them.
“A practical guide for leaders and up-and-comers who want to enhance the impact of their speeches and presentations.”
James M. Kilts, Former Chairman and CEO, The Gillette Company
