About this listen

People are drawn to, and influenced by, leaders who communicate authentically, connect with people, and have immediate impact. So how do you become one? How can you learn to “own the room?” This book will help you develop your leadership presence. The authors offer a simple and compelling framework as well as practices for developing your "signature voice." Wherever you sit in an organization, you can develop presence if you are able to do two things well: demonstrate your authentic value and distinction; and connect to others in a positive way. Leaders who are able to be authentic while connecting with and impacting others have what the authors call a signature voice - a means of self-expression that is uniquely and distinctly your own. Once you embrace and express this invaluable skill, you won’t believe the tremendous impact you can have on those around you. Filled with real-life stories and examples, Own the Room will demystify the notion of presence and provide practical advice on how you can develop it.

Critic reviews

" Own the Room is a must-read for all emerging and experienced leaders who aspire to authentically connect with others, forge relationships, and increase their influence. The authors have provided a practical roadmap and toolkit for building leadership presence from the inside out.” (Jane Brock-Wilson, Managing Director, Berkshire Partners)
All stars
Most relevant  
The book offers valuable content, but the absence of the supporting files referenced throughout makes it difficult to fully engage with the material and apply the exercises effectively. Without these resources, it’s challenging to get the most out of the book and truly experience the authors’ vision.

Great Content, but Lacking Essential Supporting Files

I love the coaching real leader podcast so was excited about this book.
The book in audio format doesnt quite work as there’s no pdf of the graphs and quadrants referenced in the text, but the anecdotes and advice is still valid and helpful.

Useful
