How To Speak So Others Listen: Use Storytelling to Become a Better Public Speaker


Overview

'With Maryam's questions, gentle guidance, and unwavering encouragement we wrote and delivered a talk about Squiggly Careers that's been watched by more than 2 million people. Now everyone can benefit in the way that we did. Having Maryam's book by your side means you will speak in a way that makes people sit up and take notice.' Sarah Ellis, Co-founder of Squiggly Careers & Amazing If 'I've been a public speaker for 16 years and even I learned a lot from How To Speak So Others Listen. This book will help you find your voice and then teach you how to use it. I highly recommend it to anyone' Sofie Hagen 'Cuts through and clarifies exactly what you need to know to deliver a talk that makes a difference' Roman Krznaric , TED speaker and author of The Good Ancestor Maryam Pasha has worked with hundreds of high profile speakers, including philanthropists, Nobel-prize-winning academics and business leaders, as a storytelling coach and curator for TEDxLondon. In this book, she shows how anyone can learn to become a better public speaker by harnessing the power of storytelling. Human connection starts with stories and being able to tell them. Being compelling, clear and impactful when you speak is a skill everyone needs to develop, to stay relevant and effect change in the workplace, your community and beyond. It's something that many activists and people engaged in social change already know well: you can have all the data and facts in the world, but it's stories that move the needle. Stories have the power to build empathy, help to shift mindsets and open up new possibilities. How To Speak So Others Listen provides a practical toolkit for anyone and everyone who wants to get better at public speaking, whatever that looks like for you. This book will also help you to believe that what you have to say is worth saying, and show you how to find the power of your own unique voice, to bring about positive change in your own life and the world around you. 'Expert, compassionate and often hilarious guidance on how to find your own voice, whoever you are' David Lan 'Maryam Pasha turns everything you think you know about communication on its head . . . a practical and masterful guide to effective communication.' Julia Shaw 'How To Speak So Others Listen is a must read for anyone wanting to learn how to communicate with humanity and joy. I love her advice and empathetic approach on how to share personal stories with the world.' Jamie Windust

Reviews

Without Maryam our TEDx talk would have been good but not great. With Maryam's questions, gentle guidance, and unwavering encouragement we wrote and delivered a talk about Squiggly Careers that's been watched by more than 2 million people. Now everyone can benefit in the way that we did. Having Maryam's book by your side means you will speak in a way that makes people sit up and take notice. * Sarah Ellis, Co-founder of Squiggly Careers & Amazing If * I've been a public speaker for 16 years and still I learned a lot from How to Speak So Others Listen. This book will help you find your voice and then teach you how to use it. I highly recommend it to anyone. * Sofie Hagen * This is a book that cuts through and clarifies exactly what you need to know to deliver a talk that makes a difference. And Maryam Pasha really knows what she's talking about: as curator of my most recent TED talk, she was able to use her creative insight and storytelling skills to lift it to a new level. Whether you're an experienced speaker or just starting out, make sure you've got this book in your back pocket. * Roman Krznaric, TED speaker and author of The Good Ancestor and History for Tomorrow * In her wonderfully exuberant as well as painstaking new book, Maryam Pasha's famously vibrant voice gives expert, compassionate and, often, hilarious guidance on how to find your own voice, whoever you are. It's a roller-coaster ride. Everyone will want to listen. * David Lan *
