All attendees received Chris’s great book:
In THE WELL-SPOKEN WOMAN: Your Guide to Looking and Sounding Your Best , Christine Jahnke details the techniques and practices of successful women to help every woman improve her presentation and on-camera skills. It serves as a guide to help you stop second-guessing or falling short with your speaking abilities so you can earn a standing ovation.
Having advised First Lady Michelle Obama for her International Olympic Committee speech, provided speaker training to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, and coached corporate CEOs and more women elected officials than any other trainer, Jahnke shares behind-the-scenes tips on what works and why. With access to her twenty years of expertise, you’ll learn strategies for forums ranging from PTA meetings to TV studios, conferences to classrooms, boardrooms to YouTube.
THE WELL-SPOKEN WOMAN features a cross section of American women who have used their voices to create change, ignite imaginations, coach teams to victory, and argue against injustice. Jahnke profiles how Melinda Gates emerged as a powerful advocate, Hillary Clinton honed her international podium presence, Suze Orman conquered the camera, and Ann Richards used humor – and then demonstrates what the take-away is for you. It shares stories of trial and triumph to answer the questions: “how did she do it?” and “what can I learn from her?”
