A Conversation With President Obama's Speechwriter, Terry Szuplat

Terry Szuplat spent nearly eight years writing the words that came out of Barack Obama's mouth, on the world's biggest stages, on the highest-stakes days, with almost no room for error. Nearly 500 speeches. Zero margin for saying the wrong thing. In this live Q&A, the bestselling author of Say It Well pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to find your voice and make people listen, whether you're speaking to a room of five or five million. If you've ever frozen before a big meeting, second-guessed an email to your CEO, or wondered why some people just sound more credible than everyone else, this is the session that finally explains why, and what to do about it.
