What a beautiful accomplishment and gift to put into the world.”—Rachel McAdams\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGetting heard is a tricky business: It’s what you say and how you show up, filtered through your audience’s assumptions and biases—and maybe even your own. For women, people of color, immigrants, and queer folks, there’s often a dissonance between how you speak and how we collectively think powerful people should speak: like the wealthy white men who’ve historically been in charge. But, fortunately, the sound of power is changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePermission to Speak is your tool kit for making that change. 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, you’ll discover your voice story: why you talk the way you do, what’s wonderful about it, and what you’ve outgrown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiery, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"gentle books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44929397588105,"sku":"9780593238684","price":80.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/9289\/1785\/files\/9780593238684.jpg?v=1763272521","url":"https:\/\/thisisgentle.com\/products\/permission-to-speak-how-to-change-what-power-sounds-like-starting-with-you","provider":"gentle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
