Overview
āI love this bookāfunny, surprising, stirring, and so important! What a beautiful accomplishment and gift to put into the world.āāRachel McAdams
Getting heard is a tricky business: Itās what you say and how you show up, filtered through your audienceās assumptions and biasesāand maybe even your own. For women, people of color, immigrants, and queer folks, thereās often a dissonance between how you speak and how we collectively think powerful people should speak: like the wealthy white men whoāve historically been in charge. But, fortunately, the sound of power is changing.
Permission to Speak is your tool kit for making that change.Ā In this revolutionary take on how to use your voice to get what you want, sought-after speech coach Samara Bay offers a fresh perspective on public speaking and a new definition of what power sounds like: namely, you. Blending anecdotes with eye-opening research in leadership, linguistics, and social science, Permission to Speak shows you how to strike the right balance of strength and warmth to land your message; exactly what to do before a high-stakes scenario so that your voice, your mind, and your spirit are ready; and how to turn habits like vocal fry and upspeak into tools. Most important, youāll discover your voice story: why you talk the way you do, whatās wonderful about it, and what youāve outgrown.
Fiery, fun, and truly profound, Permission to Speak is a personal and cultural reckoning with what speaking in public is and what it can be. This book meets the moment and offers this provocation: When we change what power sounds like, we change who has it.
