Editorial Reviews
Review
"If you want to improve your public speaking, spend a few hours with Allison's book. It's loaded with good advice and tricks of the trade that will help you up your game." - Dan Heath, co-author of Made to Stick and The Power of Moments
"The brilliance of Speak with Impact is in its simple genius. Allison's lessons are by nature specific, practical, and transferable. With Allison's help, I was able to arm my team with the proper tools needed to enhance their presentations skills and build self-assurance in public speaking." - Deborah Dugan, CEO, (RED)
"Allison Shapira's new book is as much about leadership as it is about public speaking. She prods us to ask tough questions: what do we want to accomplish, who is our audience, why should they listen to us? And then she makes us critique ourselves and test our messages with the audience. I wish I had met her years ago." - Geraldine Laybourne, Media Entrepreneur, First President, Nickelodeon, Co-founder, Oxygen
"Reading Speak with Impact is like having a one-on-one session with a master trainer in public speaking. Allison Shapira's practical advice and well-hewn insights are captured on every page and will give novice speakers confidence and seasoned veterans a stronger voice." - Jeffrey Seglin, Senior Lecturer and Director, Harvard Kennedy School Communications Program
