What a beautiful accomplishment and gift to put into the world.\"--Rachel McAdams\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGetting heard is a tricky business: It's what you say and how you show up, filtered through your audience's assumptions and biases--and maybe even your own. For women, people of color, immigrants, and queer folks, there's often a dissonance between how you speak and how we collectively think powerful people \u003ci\u003eshould\u003c\/i\u003e speak: like the wealthy white men who've historically been in charge. But, fortunately, the sound of power is changing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePermission to Speak\u003c\/i\u003e is your tool kit for making that change. In this revolutionary take on how to use your voice to get what you want, sought-after speech coach Samara Bay offers a fresh perspective on public speaking and a new definition of what power sounds like: namely, you. Blending anecdotes with eye-opening research in leadership, linguistics, and social science, \u003ci\u003ePermission to Speak\u003c\/i\u003e shows you how to strike the right balance of strength and warmth to land your message; exactly what to do before a high-stakes scenario so that your voice, your mind, and your spirit are ready; and how to turn habits like vocal fry and upspeak into tools. Most important, you'll discover your voice story: why you talk the way you do, what's wonderful about it, and what you've outgrown. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFiery, fun, and truly profound, \u003ci\u003ePermission to Speak\u003c\/i\u003e is a personal and cultural reckoning with what speaking in public is and what it \u003ci\u003ecan be\u003c\/i\u003e.
