 Verified  I read this on a flight to a speaking engagement!
Talk about timing... I received 'Your Voice Matters' a couple of days before I went out of town for a speaking engagement. I read the book, front to back, on a 3-hour flight. I turned down page corners and highlighted them frequently. Tiina Jarvet and Gillian Whitney know their stuff. How impactful was their content? I used the following tips the next day on stage: I made sure my storytelling was natural and authentic. Nodding heads told me I was on the right track. I made eye contact. I used their tip to track my time - I had 45 just minutes! And... their tip on 'When things go wrong' came in handy when, 15 minutes before I took the stage, I was told my presentation time would be cut from 60 minutes to 45! It all worked out. I highly recommend this easy read that is loaded with valuable tips to help you present yourself more effectively.

 Verified  A Must-Read for Presenters at Any Stage!
I truly enjoyed Your Voice Matters, which covers presenting with authenticity and impact! This heartfelt gem, co-authored by real-life friends Gillian Whitney and Tiina Jarvet, takes you on a journey and starts by guiding you through identifying your audience, crafting a compelling narrative, and even mind mapping—a technique I've never been familiar with but greatly appreciated, thanks to the additional context provided.The authors also tackle key challenges like impostor syndrome and handling tech snafus with grace, making this an incredibly practical resource. And as someone always seeking to find creative ways to make an impact, I appreciated the focus on leaving a lasting one.As a highly visual learner, I also appreciated the inclusion of Tiina’s gorgeous, personal sketchnotes and the snapshots from the UpLift Live event. These elements elevated the book with a special touch, making it a higher-quality, engaging reader "experience."Whether you’re new to speaking or someone with years under your belt, there’s something for everyone, and I can’t recommend it enough to help anyone become a more impactful presenter.

 Verified  A Must-Read Guide for Speakers to Confidently Plan, Present, and Perfect Your Next Talk or Keynote
While I've read many books on presentations, this one stands out as unique, heartwarming, and full of memorable moments. The authors, long-distance friends booked to speak at the UpLift Live conference in the UK, share their journey and months of preparation in crafting their speeches. It's like sitting down for tea with them as they walk you through their experiences, offering actionable tips, honest mishaps, and invaluable lessons learned. Present from the Heart is a quick, practical read that helps you go from nervous to confident in your presentations. I highly recommend it, not just for the speaker insights but also for the beautiful hand-drawn illustrations by one of the authors, which add a special touch to each chapter.

 Verified  Present From the Heart - Highly recommended
I could not recommend Gillian and Tiina's new book any higher. You need to get this book and learn why "your voice matters". Thank you for the "present" (same word - different pronunciation) from the heart.
