Speak Up: How to Use Your Voice to Inspire, Influence, and Earn [Paperback]

Build a career in public speaking with a message that stands the test of time

In Speak Up, author Hayley Mulenda Record delivers an inspiring and exciting new discussion of how to offer a message that will outlive you. She explains how to speak with conviction and courage and in doing so, guarantees that the message carried by your words last forever.

Youll discover the importance of having internal conviction and an internal conversation, rooted in something you live by, stand by, and advocate for. Youll also learn about great voices from our recent past, including Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King Jr., that found a way to express their values in ways that would outlast them.

Inside the book:

• How to speak with belief and intention in a way that triggers responses in your audiences brains and bodies
• Strategies for building a lucrative career in public speaking
• Understanding different speaking outlets, like keynotes, presentations, and workshops, and how to organise and monetise them

Perfect for anyone who wants to stand for something bigger than them and be a voice for something more enduring than any one person, Speak Up is a must-read book for speakers, activists, social justice leaders, nonprofit professionals, and anyone else interested in making a dramatic difference in the world around them.
