Every day, we have an opportunity to make an impact—whether it’s in the workplace, in our communities, or on a stage. But too often, nerves, rambling, or self-doubt hold us back from commanding the room the way we know we can. That’s why this week, I’m diving into Speak with Impact: How to Command the Room and Influence Others by Allison Shapira.
If you’ve ever felt like your voice isn’t landing the way you want it to—or worse, like you’re losing your audience—this book is a game-changer. Allison, a former opera singer turned CEO and TEDx speaker, breaks down the art of public speaking in a way that’s practical, empowering, and completely doable (even if you don’t think of yourself as a “natural” speaker).
What I love about this book is that it’s not just about giving presentations—it’s about learning to communicate with confidence in every situation. Whether it’s speaking up in a meeting, pitching to investors, or leading a team, how we show up with our voice directly impacts how others perceive our leadership.
Inside, Allison shares:
◾ How to engage an audience through storytelling and humor
◾ Simple breathing techniques to overcome stage fright
◾ How to project confidence and eliminate filler words
◾ Strategies for building executive presence and credibility
This book is a must-read for any founder, leader, or professional who wants to own their voice and influence others. And the best part? Allison was a guest on the Wisdom of Women show! She shared incredible insights about stepping into our power through communication, so if you haven’t listened to that episode yet—do yourself a favor and tune in.
