Sample Book Insights:
#1 Eloquence is a commodity that constantly increases in value. It is your secret to holding someone’s attention, making a persuasive point, being remembered, and appearing smart and confident.
#2 During pivotal moments in your life, what you say can make all the difference between success and failure. It is important to be Pitch Perfect when conveying the right message to the right person at the right time.
#3 I was to meet with Facebook’s COO, Sheryl Sandberg, that morning. I was late, and when I arrived, I found that Brandee was the picture of professionalism. She offered a gracious welcome and said, I managed to push Sheryl back a bit. How much time do you think you’ll need to set up your video equipment.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Eloquence is a commodity that constantly increases in value. It is your secret to holding someone’s attention, making a persuasive point, being remembered, and appearing smart and confident.

#2

During pivotal moments in your life, what you say can make all the difference between success and failure. It is important to be Pitch Perfect when conveying the right message to the right person at the right time.

#3

I was to meet with Facebook’s COO, Sheryl Sandberg, that morning. I was late, and when I arrived, I found that Brandee was the picture of professionalism. She offered a gracious welcome and said, I managed to push Sheryl back a bit. How much time do you think you’ll need to set up your video equipment.

#4

We all have experienced the agony of underwhelming a person we’ve met only once, and we cringe at the memory. However, we must remember that many more opportunities to wow people lie ahead. We spend 70 to 80 percent of our waking hours in some form of communication.

#5

Good communication skills make you more promotable. When the Center for Talent Innovation conducted a yearlong study of more than 4,000 professionals and 268 senior executives, leadership was an essential to securing top jobs.

#6

The techniques in Pitch Perfect will help you overcome anxiety so you can focus on your performance. The ultimate watershed moment is when you stop tossing and turning the night before a speech or presentation and instead feel an eager buzz.

#7

I love working with nonprofit organizations, as I believe that communicating more effectively with an audience of potential donors can spark more philanthropy and greater resources for people in need.

#8

The misconception that gifted communicators are the recipients of some great-communicator gene is false. Great communicators are not genetically predetermined. They are made.

#9

The more you practice public speaking, the more tempted you will be to shortchange your preparation. If you succumb to that urge, you will live to regret it. The beauty of communication: it’s easy to practice.

#10

The purpose of this book is not to have everyone communicating as if they’re reading the same script. The status quo is numbing – it causes listeners to tune out. You want to stand out.

#11

To overcome your reluctance to leave your comfort zone, make two columns on a sheet of paper. Mark everything the speaker does that represents a new and fresh approach in the Fresh and Original column, and conversely, everything you’ve heard a million times in the Clichéd column.

#12

As a communications coach, I deal with language every day. I help TV personalities, authors, athletes, top corporate executives, musicians, and fashion designers discover the pearls within their personal and professional narratives.

#13

You should never start speaking without first taking deep yogic breathing. When you get nervous, your breathing becomes shallow, which depletes your lungs of the air they need to speak with a stable, confident voice.

#14

The idiom be your own best salesperson is extremely misguided. It is far more effective to be warm and welcoming in your delivery to the camera, and show childlike enthusiasm for the value of the product you’re talking about.

#15

To avoid an insulting tone of condescension, imagine your audience to be a group of college freshmen: smart but not yet possessing worldly knowledge.

#16

The Draper Principle states that in order to make a conversation feel real, you should take questions head-on. The remaining quarter of questions are leading, snarky, insinuating, or outright accusatory, and for these, state directly what you want to say about the topic of the question rather than answering it directly.

#17

Pitch-Perfect communication is not just vital, but it’s also something anyone can learn. You just have to trust me and try it out in low-key situations.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The struggle to hold the audience’s attention is only getting worse. We have a tortoise-and-hare-style speed disparity between our brains and our mouths, and our attention spans are getting shorter.

#2

The art of spoken communication is a terrible thing to waste, and like any unused muscle, it will grow weak and flabby. The wealth of alternative communication options has drastically curtailed the amount of time we devote each day to actually speaking.

#3

Taking a more traditional approach just might determine your professional success. According to research commissioned by the global accounting firm Ernst Young, the numbers of Millennials taking on management roles grew 87 percent in 2013, as compared with 38 percent for Gen X and 19 percent for Baby Boomers.

#4

The perils of great communicators is overconfidence. Many people mistakenly believe that just because they regularly speak in public, they will be there at game time, when in reality, that is not the case.

#5

You can get better at communication, no matter where you are on the continuum. You can always improve, and there is no outcome better than that.

#6

The business world is full of women and men who struggle with the balance between being assertive and unapologetic with their verbal communication, while still maintaining a positive and warm demeanor.

#7

Women are more susceptible to internalizing these apparent slights, which affects their performance. They tend to be less empathetic than men, and as a result, not as skilled at explaining how something helps their customers or listeners.
