How To Speak So Others Listen

Without Maryam our TEDx talk would have been good but not great. With Maryam’s questions, gentle guidance, and unwavering encouragement we wrote and delivered a talk about Squiggly Careers that’s been watched by more than 2 million people. Now everyone can benefit in the way that we did. Having Maryam’s book by your side means you will speak in a way that makes people sit up and take notice. * Sarah Ellis, Co-founder of Squiggly Careers & Amazing If *I’ve been a public speaker for 16 years and still I learned a lot from How to Speak So Others Listen. This book will help you find your voice and then teach you how to use it. I highly recommend it to anyone. * Sofie Hagen *This is a book that cuts through and clarifies exactly what you need to know to deliver a talk that makes a difference. And Maryam Pasha really knows what she’s talking about: as curator of my most recent TED talk, she was able to use her creative insight and storytelling skills to lift it to a new level. Whether you’re an experienced speaker or just starting out, make sure you’ve got this book in your back pocket. * Roman Krznaric, TED speaker and author of The Good Ancestor and History for Tomorrow *Maryam is one of the most motivational, passionate and determined people I’ve had the pleasure to work with, and How To Speak So Others Listen is a must read for anyone wanting to learn how to communicate with humanity and joy. I love her advice and empathetic approach on how to share personal stories with the world. As someone who has personally experienced Maryam’s coaching on how to share my authentic self with an audience, it’s advice that will stay with you for life. It’s a book that will bring communities together, and allow everyone to connect with more people with authenticity and confidence. * Jamie Windust *Maryam Pasha turns everything you think you know about communication on its head … a practical and masterful guide to effective communication. * Julia Shaw *In her wonderfully exuberant as well as painstaking new book, Maryam Pasha’s famously vibrant voice gives expert, compassionate and, often, hilarious guidance on how to find your own voice, whoever you are. It’s a roller-coaster ride. Everyone will want to listen. * David Lan *
