If You Want to Change the World, Tell a Better Story by Gail Larsen ACCLAIM “Gail Larsen’s wise book will help anyone tap into the remarkable power of story, transforming not just the listener but the storyteller as well. In our changing world, with unprecedented possibilities for communicating, these lessons are vital.”
—Larry Dossey, MD, author of The Extraordinary Power of Ordinary Things “Gail’s method is a remarkably powerful way to build leadership skills that effectively integrates inner healing and transformation with practical skill building. I cannot recommend her book or her work more highly, as they have been truly transformative for me and improved my speaking skills immeasurably.”
—Nina Simons, co-executive director, Bioneers “We all want to be part of a bigger story, something beyond ourselves that allows us to serve the common good and find personal fulfillment. Gail Larsen uniquely helps you down the path of finding that story in yourself and communicating it to others. I can think of no greater gift than what Gail offers each and every reader.”
—Dr. Mark Albion, co-founder of Net Impact author of the New York Times Best Seller, Making a Life, Making a Living and True to Yourself “Brilliant! Our stories can make a real and human contact like nothing else, and the time to tell our stories is now. Gail’s message, backed by decades of experience and a sound method, is clear: Be the one to set in motion the world-transforming story that your life, and your life alone, has prepared you to tell.”
—Sankara Saranam, author of God Without Religion “In this powerful and insightful book, Gail touches the Source, both of our own humanity and of our capacity to speak our truths in ways which touch the humanity and the hearts of others. By embracing the guidance and wisdom on these pages, transformational speakers have the opportunity to ignite transformational conversations—those that can help shape life-affirming futures in our organizations, our communities, and on this fragile and beautiful planet. BRAVO!” —Juanita Brown, PhD, co-founder, The World Café “Gail Larsen is a master teacher who is catalyzing the emergence of a sustainable world through Real Speaking. Now her book brings this powerful approach alive on the page. Anyone who wants to speak out and make a difference in the world will benefit from reading Transformational Speaking.”
—Peggy Taylor and Rick Ingrasci, MD, co-authors of Chop Wood, Carry Water: A Guide to Finding Spiritual Fulfillment in Everyday Life “Gail Larsen is an exceptional storyteller, practitioner, and entrepreneur who embodies the title of her new book. She is changing the world with her unique gifts and talents. Some books offer lessons and others inspiration, but few accomplish both while providing hands-on practical tools and advice. Keep Transformational Speaking handy—you’re going to use it for years to come.”
—Pam Chaloult, chief operating officer, Renewal Partners/Endswell Foundation, and former co-executive director, Social Venture Network “Gail’s thoughtful and practical application of indigenous wisdom to those who address today’s contemporary audiences allows them to create greater impact and meaning by accessing their authentic power. Using the time-tested effect of story, those who apply the principles of Transformational Speaking will penetrate differences and resistance and be heard. This wonderful book provides a lens into speaking that is not taught elsewhere. It will transform your experience as a public speaker.”
—Richard C. Whiteley, co-founder, The Forum Corporation author of The Customer Driven Company and Customer Centered Growth “While I had been a speaker for years before taking Real Speaking, I had never heard: ‘You are a wonderful and compelling speaker. I love hearing you speak.’ Working with Gail transformed my whole experience of speaking from enduring it to really enjoying it. Now, all that I learned in Gail’s workshop is available to you in this excellent book. Transformational Speaking is must reading for anyone who does any speaking.”
—Margaret Paul, PhD, co-author of Do I Have to Give Up Me to Be Loved By You? "Whether the subject is bookkeeping, paleontology, God, or personal transformation, there is nothing more moving, inspiring or effective than speaking from your heart. Gail Larsen will take you there." —Lindsay Wagner, Actress, Producer, Humanitarian “Transformational Speaking is an invaluable resource and practical guide for anyone, at any age, in any profession, to become more skilled and effective in all aspects of how to communicate in compelling and authentic ways.”
—Angeles Arrien, PhD, Cultural Anthropologist, author of The Four-Fold Way and The Second Half of Life “If you buy only one book on speaking, let this be the one! With decades of high-level experience, Gail Larsen is a true master in engaging the authentic voice of every speaker. Transformational Speaking will help you be more effective in any speaking situation, as you learn to speak from what Gail calls your Home Zone, that place of integrity, depth and power.”
