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.

How Leaders Speak: Getting Ready to Present:

  • Know Your Audience
  • Find and Create The Nugget (something your audience doesnt know)
  • Make a Video Rehearsing your Presentation
  • Be Prepared for Anything
  • Dont Rely on PowerPoint (have a print out as well )
  • Test your Technology
  • Have a Checklist of Materials Before You Leave the Office
  • Pre-Presentation Jitters are a Good Thing!
  • Know Your Environment Beforehand (schedule a run through the day before)
  • Eat and Drink Lightly Just Before Your Presentation

How Leaders Speak: During Your Speech

  • Have Water Handy
  • Keep Language Short and Simple
  • Have Your Speech Printed at the Top of Your Page To Keep Eye Contact Connected
  • Most Nervousness Doesnt Show
  • Draw in Your Audience Via Names and Anecdotal Info
  • Ask Questions to Involve Your Audience (and to Relieve Pressure)
  • Speak with Passion!
