IDEAS ABOUT HOW
TRUE LEADERS SPEAK

Why a blog devoted to how leaders speak? Simply because people lead through their speaking. Leadership does not lie in a title or a rank—it lies in the power of words to transform others. It happens when a leader moves an audience or inspires a single person.
Every post in this blog will equip you to do just that… inspire, influence, persuade, and move others to action. It will show you how to speak as a genuine leader—and how to move others by doing so.
Regardless of your rank or your role, you can project leadership—and achieve leadership—just by practicing the techniques in this blog.
And many of the posts will show you how to do this in everyday speaking situations—not just the big podium speeches or PowerPoint presentations, but in the day-in-and-day-out conversations and discussions you have with your team and your boss.
