Taking the Stage
Summary
Many women today wonder: What will it take to get that seat at the boardroom table? Earn that coveted promotion? Or simply have their voices heard? Taking the Stage provides a comprehensive, proven approach that enables women to come forward into the spotlight and speak up, stand out, and succeed. Based on a program from the Humphrey Group that has been delivered to over 400,000 women worldwide, Taking the Stage shows women - no matter their age, rank, or profession - how to communicate with courage and confidence in every situation, from formal speeches to brief hallway conversations. Judith Humphrey provides the inspiration and practical advice for women to “take the stage” mentally, verbally, vocally, and physically. Women can make the most of every opportunity by understanding how best to: Speak up confidently, even when others don’t agree Convey their accomplishments without self-doubt Be assertive but not aggressive Deliver clear and convincing messages Move beyond “minimizing” language and apology Find their own powerful and authentic voice Achieve confident body language and a leadership presence By applying these techniques and others to every communication - whether making a presentation, speaking at meetings, conducting an elevator conversation, or selling themselves in job interviews - women will be recognized as the leaders they are and attain positions of influence. For women at all stages of their career, and for managers and executives committed to supporting and guiding women on their leadership journeys, Taking the Stage is the practical, broad-based solution that will allow women to speak up confidently, gain respect, earn the promotions they deserve, and secure their places at the boardroom table.

Impromptu
Summary
Impromptu shows leaders how to think on their feet and respond eloquently in every situation. Never have there been so many opportunities to inspire and influence in everyday situations - elevator chats, corridor conversations, networking gatherings, meetings, and ceremonial events. Indeed, today the most iconic leadership moments are spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment events that reveal the inner workings of the leader's mind. When these impromptu opportunities arise, leaders must be able to listen, think, and respond within seconds. They don't read a script from a page, they convey the narrative that is already in their mind. They can tailor a message - in a meeting, in the corridor, or in a tweet - to influence and inspire any audience. Those who shine in that moment are remembered for their leadership. Those who stumble are remembered for their gaffes, mixed messages, or insensitivity. Nobody remembers the leaders who retreat to their office, formulate a strategic plan, and distribute a memo the following week. Guided by her entrepreneurial success as founder of The Humphrey Group and her firm's work with tens of thousands of leaders over the past 30 years, Judith Humphrey makes clear the importance of preparing to be spontaneous - as counterintuitive as that may sound! Drawing upon the best impromptu moments from the Greeks to the present, the audiobook looks at every aspect of impromptu speaking. You will learn how to: Think like an impromptu leader Quickly read an audience of one or a thousand Collect your thoughts and craft a persuasive message "Script" yourself within seconds for any occasion Avoid "um's" and "ah's" and use the right words at the right time Discover improv techniques that will enable you to shine Deliver your message with clarity, confidence, and conviction The ability to speak on the spot is often seen as an innate gift, a talent of "natural-born" leaders. The truth is, it's a skill that can be learned - a skill that is quickly becoming a must-have for anyone in a leadership position. Impromptu provides clear, actionable guidance to help you reach your full leadership potential. It will enable you to influence and inspire followers on the many "small stages" that define our daily lives.
