Allison Shapira

Your voice matters, especially as a leader. Every day, you have an opportunity to use your voice to have a positive impact—at work or in your community. You can inspire and persuade your audience—or you can distract and put them to sleep.

Nervous, rambling, robotic—these presentation styles can ruin a talk on even the most critical topics. And with each weak performance, career prospects dim. To get ahead and make an impact, you need to deliver well-crafted messages with confidence and authenticity. You must sound as capable as you are.
