A powerful guide for every woman looking to find—or amplify—her voice
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.

    93 per cent of communication is non-verbal. Only 7 per cent is based on the content of our speech. Of the non-verbal communication, 55 per cent was body language, 38 per cent tone of voice.
