Summary

Have you ever wondered why some people earn attention and respect when they speak and others don't? The secret to their success can be summed up in one word: gravitas. 

In this revolutionary new book, leading voice coach and speaker Caroline Goyder reveals how to speak so others will listen. Through simple techniques to build your natural gravitas, you will learn how to express yourself clearly, with passion and confidence, to persuade, influence and engage listeners. By being grounded in your values and capabilities, you will gain the authority needed to make people sit up and pay attention. 

Each chapter guides you step by step through practical techniques and exercises to give you the skills for great presentations, productive meetings and persuasive pitches. You'll overcome anxiety, learn how to deal with difficult people and feel calm and in control when public speaking. 

An essential tool for the modern workplace, Gravitas will transform the way you think about yourself and your powers of communication.

You're better of reading this one

There's some good ideas here, but the production is uneven the narration is ironically lacking.

You'll get to dread the phrase "such and such, some vocation, said".

Absolutly life changing

I love this book. I am only halfway through and it's already changed my life. This is the book I have been looking for on how to communicate with authenticity and clarity. Caroline is amazing. Her narration is perfect, showing that she really embodies what she's teaching. I am making notes and I will listen many times to really get these wonderful teachings. Thanks Caroline
