Description
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 performance anxiety 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,” and the power of J.K.Rowling’s understated speaking style, 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? How to Own the Room will show you exactly how.

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.
