Essential Rules for Engaging and Inspiring Others
Executives, politicians, and entrepreneurs are increasingly being evaluated by how well they speak. In todays communication-saturated age, the ability to address others effectively has become essential. How Leaders Speak covers the five keys to speaking like a leader: preparation, passion, certainty, engagement, and commitment.

Senior executives, professionals, politicians, entrepreneurs, and educators are increasingly being evaluated by how well they speak - how credibly, how naturally, and how enthusiastically. They’re being judged on their presentation skills. In today’s communication-saturated age, the ability to address others effectively has become the essential mark of a leader.

How Leaders Speak covers the seven keys to speaking like a leader: preparation, certainty, passion, engagement, and commitment. It’s a personal handbook for planning and conveying presentations that will engage and inspire others, from overcoming nervousness to handling difficult questions from listeners.
