You might think that this book isn't relevant to you unless you regularly give speeches in public, but you would be wrong. This book explores why speeches that women throughout history have given are so relevant to our lives, and how we can use the same techniques. You might not ever think you need to "own a room" but what about when having a one to one with a tricky boss, when pitching an email to a new client, or when you are about to deliver a presentation to a board meeting... there are so many scenarios that you can put into practice what Viv talks about in this book.
I am self employed, and don't generally have to do any of the above but I learned that if and when I do, just how I am going to approach a situation. Why Michelle Obama's "when they go low, we go high" is such a powerful statement and how it impacts how we should live our lives, not just how we address an audience.
It's also a cracking read. No jargon, no guff. Just nine chapters each relating to nine different women, and then one that talks about how to "be more you" that offers advice on doing just that, and tackling nerves.
