HBCU Connect's Book of the Month: "SAY IT LIKE OBAMA" (3419 hits)


This summer most of us will have plenty of time to fine tune ourselves. Just because school is out, does not mean the learning should stop. Do something constructive during the month of June and educate yourself by reading "SAY IT LIKE OBAMA", by: Shel Leanne.

You can read it while sun bathing pool side, or while waiting for your turn at the Barbershop.
Some even enjoy reading at home. Imagine that!

In this book you will learn:

* How rhetorical skills made President Barack Obama one of the best orators in modern history
* Which rhetorical techniques Obama uses
* How to motivate people through leadership

Why you should read Say It Like Obama:

President Barack Obama’s considerable ability to capture people’s attention and move them to action is closely tied to his exceptional oratorical skills. But how exactly does he do it? Shel Leanne, president of a leadership development firm, dissects Obama’s powerful speaking style and shows how it is integral to his entire leadership package. Using examples from Obama’s speeches, she explains how you can improve your own communication and leadership capabilities. The book is practical and readable, although repetitive, and it would have been even more useful had the designer set off the speech excerpts more clearly from the rest of the text. getAbstract.com considers this work essential for any aspiring speaker’s library. Even if you never become president of the U.S., you will probably find yourself in front of a group of colleagues, employees or students whom you need to impress.

About the author:

Shel Leanne is president of the Wishel Corporation, a leadership development firm. She has worked for McKinsey & Company and Morgan Stanley, and taught at Harvard University.
She is the author of //How to Interview Like a Top MBA.
