Subject(s): Summary: Effective leadership is fundamentally about envisioning change and inspiring true commitment - not mere compliance - in others. Whether in business, political, or non-profit settings, speaking is the bridge between vision and action, and the most influential leader is one who can communicate a vision in ways that persuade others to make that vision their own. Pearce breaks with outdated public speaking conventions to show how leaders can get to the heart of their audience. Drawing on his years of experience as a communications consultant working with leaders across the country, he outlines a step-by-step process of disciplined reflection, writing, and speaking that results in focused yet heartfelt self-expression. His simple guidelines encourage speakers to find their authentic voices and articulate their messages with confidence. Clear examples of effective and ineffective speeches by public figures like Mario Cuomo, Ross Perot, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Anita Roddick, and Peter Uberroth demonstrate Pearce's time-tested advice on how to remain authentic as you prepare each component of a speech, from the introduction through the question-and-answer session; overcome audience resistance, justify change, and issue a call to action; master the risky but high-impact "town hall" meeting; and incorporate personal anecdotes, analogies, and meaningful sound bites.
