Overview
With over forty years of earned wisdom as an actor and voice-over coach, author Elaine A. Clark shares a wide scope of comprehensive information on how to build your communication skills from the ground up to achieve your individual goals, whether addressing an audience of one or one thousand, in person or on a livestream. Speak to Achieve makes use of Clark's proven Making It M.I.N.E.™ performance method that she has used since the 1990s to coach people on how to get out of their heads; access their emotions in alignment with the rhetorical triangle (ethos, logos, and pathos); connect with their personal truth; incorporate authoritative body movements; use specific gestures; comfortably share their history, uniqueness, and personality; and sustain listener attention. In Speak to Achieve, becoming a better communicator involves the following steps:
- Acknowledge and overcome roadblocks.
- Build trust between yourself and your audience.
- Construct a genuine bridge of connection.
- Use your personal journey to empower others.
- Captivate audiences.
- Motivate the audience to think, feel, and take action!
- Achieve results.
This interactive guide gives readers small assignments to acknowledge, test, and apply Clark's techniques and leads them through the creation of a story arc that can capture the imagination of both themselves and their audience. With Speak to Achieve, learn to own your inherent authority and intelligence, feel empowered by your message, and communicate genuinely with others to achieve your desired results.
