We all can agree that being a good public speaker is an attribute. Great leaders, prominent business people, and others we admire are known for their ability to communicate. Public speaking is a key skill whether you want to stand up as a leader, become more competent at work, or just improve your day-to-day communication. Some are born with the natural gift of being an excellent public speaker. Others have developed it over the years. Regardless of where you are on your public speaking journey, you can always improve and hone this ability.

What if charisma could be taught? For the first time, science and technology have taken charisma apart, figured it out and turned it into an applied science: In controlled laboratory experiments, researchers could raise or lower people's level of charisma as if they were turning a dial. What you'll find here is practical magic: unique knowledge, drawn from a variety of sciences, revealing what charisma really is and how it works. You'll get both the insights and the techniques you need to apply this knowledge. The world will become your lab, and every person you meet, a chance to experiment.

Every day, you have an opportunity to use your voice to have a positive impact - at work or in your community. You can inspire and persuade your audience - or you can distract and put them to sleep. Nervous, rambling robotic - these presentation styles can ruin a talk on even the most critical topics. And with each weak performance, career prospects dim. To get ahead and make an impact, you need to deliver well-crafted messages with confidence and authenticity. You must sound as capable as you are.

Simple, Practical and Relevant
I am so glad I took the time to listen to this audiobook. The narration was clear and captivating. The pointers shared by Michael Sean Harris were simple, yet eye-opening as these are things I have often overlooked as a performer. I would recommend this book to any performer, from beginner to very experienced.
