Publisher's Synopsis
In the age of information and influence, the ability to authentically express yourself in words has become both a rite of passage and an essential skill for anyone who wants to make a difference - however modest or grand - in their family, community, workplace, or at the podium in front of thousands. And yet the conventional wisdom around what resonates for today's speakers and their audiences has failed to evolve, leaving speakers wondering how they will craft a speech that provides the individuality, originality and authenticity our culture demands. While we can't all be the next Amanda Gorman, however, there is a roadmap every speaker can follow - regardless of their experience - to elevate a narrative from serviceable to unforgettable. This is true whether you are roasting a colleague at an office party, delivering a keynote industry address, accepting an award, or eulogising a loved one.
