Introduction: Your Story. My Passion.
When you change the way you see yourself as a speaker, the speaker your audience sees will change.
—Carmine Gallo
You have an extraordinary story to tell. But whether you’re pitching a service, product, company, or cause, how you craft and deliver your message makes all the difference. Some people tell their stories better than others—capturing the hearts and minds of everyone in their personal and professional lives. They are considered the world’s greatest business communicators—the most electrifying speakers in the corporate world. Here’s the best part. Anyone can develop the skills to join the world’s most astonishing speakers. Great communicators are made, not born. In this book, you’ll learn the 10 Simple Secrets that have turned ordinary individuals into dazzling presenters. You’ll hear directly from the world’s top contemporary business leaders, many of whom reveal their communication secrets for the first time.
By identifying and adopting the techniques of the world’s greatest business communicators, you will:
stand apart from your competition;
attract customers;
close more sales;
raise your visibility;
advance your business agenda;
inspire your audiences; and
potentially change the world with your service, product, company, or cause.
Consider just a few of the leaders who will share their secrets with you: a man who took his passion for coffee and transformed nearly every street corner in America, an investor who became the world’s richest person, and a young woman who leveraged a $1,000 loan to build a billion-dollar real estate empire. They go by rather common names like Howard, Warren, and Barbara. But the companies they built are extraordinary, with names like Starbucks, Berkshire Hathaway, and the Corcoran Group.
Others have ordinary beginnings but enjoy astounding success. There are many, many more. You’ll learn about the presentation and speaking techniques of the world’s most influential leaders and how you can incorporate their strategies in your own professional business communications. You’ll read interviews with leading CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, experts, and authors. For the first time, they share presentation secrets that have catapulted them to the top of their fields.
