A seat at the head of the table requires a place at the podium.

This book is dedicated to busy women who want to present their ideas and opinions flawlessly so that anyone listening will understand and remember what they said. The double standard for evaluating speakers has led women speakers -whether in politics, business, and professional life - to walk a fine line between being seen as “too soft and relational” and too abrasive, having “an edge.” That's why the commonly used outlines found in textbooks and training manuals that are "generic" don't help women navigate the issue of being seen and heard as credible leaders.
Whether a presentation is made in person or via technology, communication skills are critical to an individual's success, whether in civic life, business, or professional life. Busy women who don't have staff to write their speeches will benefit from the 9 different worksheets offered which outline a logical flow for expressing ideas and feelings. The templates also address the specific issues of credibility and likability unique to women speakers seeking to advance their ideas, their organizations, or themselves. Along with each of the 9 user-friendly templates, there is a flawless worksheet.
