Pre-Order ‘Gravitas - Timeless Skills to Communicatewith Confidence and Build Trust'Available 28 February 2024!
I still remember the days back in school when stepping onto the assembly stageto present, I was advised to stand still and fix my gaze on that ever-ticking clockat the back of the room. It was said to help with nerves.
Over the years, I've come across countless such "tricks" from imaginingaudiences in the nude to speaking behind a lectern in a deep, monotone voice.
More often than not, this kind of technique leads to disengagement and yawns.
It’s time we redefined the narrative. Communication isn’t just about hiding fromaudiences. It's about connecting, interacting and making an impact. It's aboutbringing back the ancient art of gravitas – building trust and respect with cues,powerful pauses, expansive gestures and powerful voices.
That’s why I’m delighted to announce my latest book: ‘Gravitas – Timeless Skills to Communicate with Confidence & Build Trust,’ available from 28February 2024.
What’s ‘Gravitas – Timeless Skills to Communicate with Confidence andBuild Trust’ about?
