What makes a good speech? Often when we have a need to do one, we just look to get it done. We sometimes watch speeches at work or online for clues. The challenge though is to persuade, share a message, and have the audience receive a call to action. In Speech Blueprint: Using Simon Sinek’s TED Talk as a Model to “Inspire Action” Paul has applied a methodology to Simon Sinek's TED Talk. I have given speeches throughout my work career. I wished I had this framework earlier. I will leverage the lessons Paul found. This book will help you too for any presentation in any event you need to give. It doesn't take very long to get a gem of an idea and start applying it!
