Speak Up, Dammit! How to Quiet Your Fears, Polish Your Presence, and Share Your Voice

by Hope Timberlake

The expectations placed upon you are more than mere bullet points in a job description. You know you should contribute during meetings, but obstacles arise. You lose focus, or get interrupted. You fly off course and start rambling. Perhaps the intimidation factor is so strong, you simply feel you don’t have a voice.

Speak Up, Dammit! is for you if you have a hard time sharing your ideas
Speak Up, Dammit! provides inspirational stories as well as critical tools, lessons, and exercises that will help you, at any professional level, overcome obstacles and share your voice at work.

This was the book that inspired me to start a book club with my team, at work.

After hearing the speaker at one of our work functions, I knew there was opportunity for my own personal growth but know that I learn best with other's.

It was a good read! Love that author provides some exercises to practice what is taught in each chapter.

We each walked into this book club season unconsciously incompetent (not knowing what we don't know) and we're walking away not just consciously competent (aware of what we don't know) but consciously competent (aware and putting effort into creating new behavior patterns in our speech).

Excellent "How-To" book on developing confidence and capability of presentation skills. Super helpful, with great stories as examples. I like the audiobook version. The author did a great job narrating it.

An insightful look at how to become a more polished presenter. An adept blend of theory and practice, this book also looks at the complexity of connection and presentation in virtual contexts.

Corporate Girlies, if you need help with your presentation skills, your communication skills, etc. I highly recommend this book. Very informative.

This book is a treasure trove of practical actions. Even after reading just the first few chapters, I picked up new ideas to use in my leadership coaching practice. My clients are going to benefit from Hope’s wisdom, and so can you.
