Dr. Susan Miller's passion is to empower women with
effective compelling communication skills so they can
articulate and achieve their goals, communicate their needs,
and master the art of "being heard" where it counts.
Be Heard the First Time is an operator's manual for oral
communication and shares the seven key skills of all
competent speakers, plus Dr. Miller's proven strategies for
breath and pitch control. For beginners, she shows how to
focus on posture, presence, comfort level, and the message
itself. For the more skilled speaker, Dr. Miller provides
effective strategies for combating dry mouth, retrieving
words, and answering aggressive questioning when faced with
a high-level public meeting or press conference.
Be Heard the First Time promises to help reticent women
walk, stand, or sit powerfully, even if you feel insecure;
like the sound of your voice; breathe deeply and slowly when
you are anxious; say the last word of a sentence without
trailing off; express your opinions, desires, and
experiences clearly; vary the loudness, pitch, and duration
of your voice when speaking; entertain others with stories,
presentations, and tall tales; finish your statement without
interruption; interview, clarify, object, debate, and
negotiate powerfully; and respond assertively to criticism.
Now the soft-spoken patent attorney, for example--when
promoted to the CEO position--can quickly learn how to make
a confident and visible entry to a conference or reception
room, and how to speak quite differently than she did before
her promotion. And, for those aiming for promotion, this
book reveals how to "be heard the first time" so you can
achieve your goals.
