About this listen

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’ 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? Here’s how.

This book is not just about the Art of Brilliant speaking but about performance and thinking... getting yourself if the 'right' frame of mind etc. Viv brilliantly breaks down all aspects making her advice and experience clear, logical and practical. There are so many bite size take homes one of my top ones is around appreciating that if you have been asked to 'perform/talk' etc. its because the person asking you thinks you are up for the job.....
Thank you Viv... most excellent!

Just fantastic!

bit annoying, thought there would be more tips and techniques not so much glorifying Michelle Obama.

Inspirational! I’m now going off to buy her new book. I didn’t even realise I wanted to speak publicly until listening to this and now I have a very important speech booked in Parliament next week!

Love Viv
