The Language of Leaders: Learn to Speak with Confidence

Success takes more than just knowledge and knowhow about domains, functions, people, processes and technology. Be it at a job interview, in a company meeting, or in front of a large gathering, you need to be a powerful communicator, touching the emotions and aspirations of the people you are speaking to. You need to connect, influence and inspire. You must ensure your messages are understood, advocated and championed. Irrespective of who your audience is – people with more experience than you, or with more knowledge – you must communicate with full confidence and lasting impact, resonating deeply with their aspirations, needs and desires.

The language of leaders is different. It strengthens their position and makes it easier for others to follow. When they speak they sound credible, convincing and compelling. The good news is, the ability to speak like a leader can be acquired.
