“In a dark and dusty barn, a wise leader sits ensconced on a bed of straw, partially illuminated by a lantern. He is nearing the end of his life but, even in old age, retains a look of majesty. The barn is a sea of expectant faces. Everyone has gathered to hear what this respected elder has to say. Although they don't yet know it, this is to be his last public appearance and the words he's about to utter will not only inspire a generation, they will incite a revolution... This leader is no ordinary man. In fact, he isn't a man at all. He's a pig. But he's not just any old hog; he's a prize-winning porker and he can talk.” Our journey into The Art of Public Speaking begins with a fascinating analysis of Old Major's speech from Animal Farm. But why de-construct a speech made by a dying pig more than half a century ago? Because, in this speech, Old Major dispenses an armoury of linguistic weaponry…a succession of rhetorical devices which continue to pepper politicians' speeches to this very day. As such, Old Major's speech is one from which all leaders can learn.As well as opening the hood on a series of great speeches to examine what makes them work, this book also explores:- Numerous mnemonics to help you remember the components of a great speech- Countless examples explaining how persuasive devices can be used in practice- Memorable frameworks to help you structure your speech for maximum impact - Tips on how to harness the power of non-verbal communications inc. body language & voice qualityThis book combines all the theory (from Aristotle to Quintilian) with practical resources to help you get started on your own inspirational speech. It's got something for everyone: it dips its toe in the art of rhetoric by explaining - in simple, colloquial terms – how the most common persuasive devices work, and swims out further into the sea of figurative language to examine its lofty origins in Ancient Greece. From anadiplosis to zeugma, and allegory to zoomorphism, this book analyses over 250 language devices perfect for every public speaker. Whether you're a beginner trying to write your first speech or an expert in search of the origins of rhetoric devices, this book has something for you.

Do you remember the topic of the last speech you heard? If not, you're not alone. In fact, studies show that audiences remember only 10% to 30% of speech or presentation content. Given those bleak statistics, why do we give speeches at all? We give them, says communications expert Nick Morgan, because they remain the most powerful way of connecting with audiences since ancient Greek times. But as we've evolved to a more conversational mode of public speaking, thanks to television, we have forgotten much of what the Greeks taught us about the nonverbal aspects of speech-giving: the physical connection with audiences that can create an almost palpable emotional bond. Morgan says this "kinesthetic connection" comes from truly listening to your audience—not just with your brain but with your body. In this book, he draws from more than 20 years as a speech coach and consultant, combining the best of ancient Greek oratory with modern communications research to offer a new, audience-centered approach to public speaking. Through entertaining and insightful examples, Morgan illustrates a 3 part process—focusing on content development, rehearsal, and delivery—that will enable readers of all experience levels to give more effective, passion-filled speeches that move audiences to action.

Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" (Wall Street Journal). If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.

The New York Times bestseller by the acclaimed, bestselling author of Start With Why and Together is Better. Now with an expanded chapter and appendix on leading millennials, based on Simon Sinek's viral video "Millenials in the workplace" (150+ million views). Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. In his work with organizations around the world, Simon Sinek noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams, no matter what incentives are offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why? The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. "Officers eat last," he said. Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What's symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders sacrifice their own comfort--even their own survival--for the good of those in their care. Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.
