About this listen

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.

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".

You're better of reading this one

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

I've actually listened to this book twice, and the first time I reviewed it I gave it 4 stars, although I couldn't articulate why it wasnt 5 stars. Having listened again, I'd definitely put it up there, comparable with other books in this self mastery genre I love, like Matthew Syeds books, and Amy Cuddy's Presence.
Goyder has a really lovely manner about her on the tape, very listen able. To be honest. it would be a hard sell if the person presenting "Gravitas" didn't resonate, but to be fair she manages the flow and pitch perfectly, and it's an enjoyable listen.
Like so many of these books I have to stop and start, to capture and write down key concepts that really interest me so I don't forget them. There are lots of tangible takeaways in this book which is great, and I have used some of the approaches from this book, alongside approaches from other books like "Presence", to help my private clients become more confident and take control of their lives.
Overall, a great listen, really nicely narrated, and would recommend to both those looking to build skills, and seasoned pro's to enhance their toolboxes.

Great book, well worth listening to

A really useful book full of ‘try this’ exercises that sharpen your communication skills. It breaks down the challenge of improving your gravitas into easy to follow and digestible parts. There is something in there for leaders, listeners, coaches. Improving your ability to host meetings, attend interviews and even take telephone calls.
