  This program is read by the author.Victoria Wellman’s Before You Say Anything invites listeners into the game-changing creative process of New York’s busiest speechwriter, delivering actionable insights for anyone tasked with speaking in public.In the age of information and influence, the ability to authentically express yourself in words has become both a rite of passage and an essential skill for anyone who wants to make a difference—however modest or grand—in their family, community, workplace, or at the podium in front of thousands. And yet the conventional wisdom around what resonates for today’s speakers and their audiences has failed to evolve, leaving speakers wondering how they will craft a speech that provides the individuality, originality and authenticity our culture demands. While we can’t all be the next Amanda Gorman, however, there is a roadmap every speaker can follow—regardless of their experience—to elevate a narrative from serviceable to unforgettable. This is true whether you are roasting a colleague at an office party, delivering a keynote industry address, accepting an award, or eulogizing a loved one.In Before You Say Anything, Victoria Wellman—the founder and president of Manhattan-based speechwriting company The Oratory Laboratory—shares her unique methodology for researching, reimagining, crafting, and delivering a professional quality speech by focusing on three core objectives: respect for the audience, the restless pursuit of originality, and intentionality behind every word. Full of hilarious anecdotes and examples from Wellman’s extensive experience as the go-to speechwriter for power players and everyday people from around the world, Before You Say Anything is an irresistible antidote to the age-old doctrine of what a speech must include. Instead it will leave readers with an enlightened and refreshing way of thinking about their sources, ideas and material, and a strategy of putting it all to use.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press

  Tribe - The Many-to-Many Sales...

  For decades the sales profession has been fixated on individual sales performance and leadership. Sales methodologies like the Challenger Sale, Sandler Selling, and SPIN selling all focus on the individual seller. But B2B customers have complex problems that require a diverse team effort to solve. That's the first reason why sales methodologies are not working for most companies. 
  Not only do we promote selling as individuals, but we manage this way too. One-to-many hierarchical sales coaching methods ensure sales managers are a bottleneck and will never have the capacity to coach their teams and deals effectively. That's the second reason why sales methodologies are not working for most companies. 
  Tribe is a many-to-many sales coaching system leveraging the power of teams in the sales process. Tribe reduces the current bottleneck of manager coaching as salespeople coach each other. You can add Tribe to any sales methodology to make it work. Why? 
  Because we're all hard-wired to be tribal, it's not optional but a matter of survival. Our brains experience tribal connection as a matter of life or death. It drives the way we think, what we believe, and the way we act. Tribe is the power behind all successful teams through human history. The Tribe Playbook shows how to use this power to motivate and grow sales organizations and get your sales playbook or sales methodology working. Learn more at https://simu.ly/tribe/

  "I cried because I did not have an office with a door, until I met a man who had no cubicle." - Dilbert 
  "After your boss has taken away your door, your walls, and your storage areas, there aren't many options left for the next revolution in office design. One of the following things is likely to go next: the floor; the ceiling; your happiness. 
  I think the floor will stay, but only because your company would have to dig a huge hole all the way to the other side of the earth to get rid of it. As you can imagine, a huge hole through the earth would represent a serious threat to office productivity."
