of effective speech. In the business arena, successful executives
have used this power to share visions, sell ideas, lead, inspire,
and motivate others. It looks easy and natural for them. Yet
most will readily admit that the skills they possess were learned.
And what they learned was how to clearly organize their ideas,
use realistic and sensible supporting evidence, and then deliver
the message in an enthusiastic, convincing manner. Executive
