INCLUDES A NEW INTRODUCTION AND BONUS CHAPTER ON 'HOW TO OWN THE ZOOM'
'The ultimate guide to public speaking. Inspirational.' Mary Portas
'I recommend Viv Groskop's How to Own the Room to anyone wanting more self-confidence.' Philippa Perry
__________
Most books about public speaking don't tell you what to do when you open your mouth and nothing comes out. And they don't tell you how to get over the anxiety about performance that most people naturally have. They don't tell you what to do in the moments when you are made, as a woman, to feel small. They don't tell you how to own the room. This book does.
From the way Michelle Obama projects 'happy high status', to Virginia Woolf's leisurely pacing and Oprah Winfrey's mastery of inner conviction, what is it that our heroines do to make us sit up and listen - really listen - to their every word? And how can you achieve that impact in your own life? Here's how.
__________
***** 'Easy to grasp practical tips... all served up with lightness and generosity.'
***** 'It has made me realize I don't even need to be good, but I can be brave.'
***** 'Brilliant, engaging, honest, vulnerable, often damn funny.'
Book Information

60 Seiten hätten es auch getan
An sich ein Buch mit einem Thema was viele (Frauen) betrifft: wie bekommt man genug Selbstvertrauen, um in sämtlichen Situationen für sich einzustehen und das zu sagen was man sagen will. In der Realität ist es leider eine 200 seitige Wiederholung der immer selben Tipps: Sei du selbst, tu dies nicht und tue das aber hier ist ein Beispiel warum es sinnvoll sein kann die Regeln zu brechen. Für mich ein gut gemeintes Bauch mit auch wenigen Dingen die man daraus ziehen kann, aber leider anstrengend und nichts sagend umgesetzt. 😕
Inspiring book about how to be a good (female) speaker!
I gathered some interesting tricks throughout the book, especially on how to be more confident and less nervous before giving a speech. Because the book was written in English, most examples were of American women, some of whom I haven’t heard of since. That sometimes made it hard to keep reading. The brief summary at the end of each chapter with “tips and tricks” and “exercises” made the author’s point clear.
