Positive persuasion takes sincerity, honesty, and respect. You need to communicate effectively and build rapport with your audience, whoever they are. In this Speaking About Speaking episode, I discuss how you can speak confidently and persuasively.
As my friend and fellow speaker, Andrew Thorp says, we are all in the persuasion business.
Whenever we speak, we hope to influence, build trust, and create emotional bonds, whether for business, a relationship or as a parent but how do we do that without crossing over to the dark side of manipulation and arrogance?
I start the episode by sharing my 5 top tips on speaking with confidence...
1. Believe what you are saying.
2. Breathe
3. Be prepared
4. Vocal variety
5. Tell a story
And then I talk about the devices and techniques we can use to influence and persuade, in a good way. 😊

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
