The Well-Spoken Woman Speaks Out: How to Use Your Voice to Drive Change
Practical and inspiring, this book is a valuable asset for women involved in movements such as #metoo, Time's Up Now, Women's Marches, and Pantsuit Nation, as well as for those suddenly spurred to enter public service.
In The Well-Spoken Woman, author and top speech coach Christine K. Jahnke shared techniques to help women present their ideas effectively in any setting. This new follow-up focuses specifically on women who want to persist, resist, advocate, or run for office--and gives them the tools to do so by using effective, persuasive, powerful communication.
The book takes Jahnke's direct experience working with women like Michelle Obama and the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton and pairs it with the recent surge of interest by a wide array of women nationwide to speak up, be socially and politically active, and help drive change.
Jahnke--who has spent twenty-five years helping women leaders run for public office, push for gender and racial equality, and lobby for progressive causes--provides guidance and best practices rally support for a cause,
make a persuasive pitch, campaign for public office, be a successful advocate or activist, and motivate people to make positive change.
The stirring speech by Oprah Winfrey at the 2018 Golden Globes is a perfect example of how learning and practicing public speaking techniques allow women to state their case in the most commanding and effective way possible.
The Well-Spoken Woman Speaks Out will guide any woman who strives for her own persuasive and powerful Oprah moment, who wants to ensure that she is truly heard and understood, or who seeks to motivate and impact others.

I don't plan to run for office and I'm retired from a job that required me to speak in front of people frequently. I only wish I had had this book during that time....although I'm not sure I was willing to work hard enough to implement all the suggestions in this book which are part common sense, part practical suggestions and part significant behavior changes for the introvertly inclined!
I appreciate what this book is about and what this author cared about (she died in August 2020). Her work was her passion and women excelling despite societal biases against women in power was her passion. RIP Christine and womankind thanks you.
