Publisher's Synopsis
Most people fear public speaking, but women - even those in seemingly powerful positions - face unique challenges. Only their impassioned voices are sometimes called shrill, irrationally angry, and even hysterical. In this unapologetically fierce - and fun, and funny - guide, Alexia Vernon helps women (and men) overcome internal and external roadblocks. Through relatable stories and "Moxie Moment" exercises, readers will find, embody, and finesse their own unique voice. More moxie - brave, speak up, disrupt the status quo - than Toastmasters, this is step-by-step guidance for the many "successful" women who power through their lives despite poor self-confidence; the women who want to dial-up their communications in conversations, negotiations, and presentations; and those who need to shift their communications in their homes, relationships, and neighbourhoods. These shifts "small" and large change perspectives, lives, and - over time - the world.
