Inside the Book...
What are the make-or-break skills needed
to win in a pitch?

What two qualities make a speaker likeable
and memorable?

How do you close the deal but never sell?

How do you make ideas stick so that clients remember you?

What ensures a successful presentation?


The traditional approach to public speaking is based on rules.  Countless books have lists of dos and don'ts.  Rules are used for writing a computer program, but they don't provide guidance in communication. The Eloqui method of persuasive speaking embodies these concepts:

  • Strive to speak in an authentic voice from your own perspective
  • Identify one primary intention and shape your content around it.
  • Persuade your audience by using a variety of engagement techniques rather than by simply educating or informing.

From intention and roles to using examples and being memorable, Own The Room has the tips and information you need to create business presentations that persuade, engage and get results.
