GRAVITAS

Timeless Skills to Communicate with Confidence and Build Trust

Synopsis

Workplaces of today are complex for leaders to influence and lead change. The ancient Greeks and Romans knew it all, so let’s not recreate the wheel. Dr Louise Mahler introduces the concept of Gravitas – the manner of trust and respect – and shows you how to find those skills in yourself with integrity.

Let’s go back in time where no one has gone, offering relatable scenarios, such as a crisis-stricken executive seeking guidance on speaking too fast, too soft or too high and the incredible difference having gravitas can make. Louise emphasises that confidence and gravitas cannot be bought or psychoanalysed for an immediate fix. Instead, the solutions lie in action.

What readers are saying about the book

"I am constantly on the look out for improving my performance, but do not have the time to wade through heavy, technical reading. I was thrilled to find a book which was not only informative, humorous and anecdotal, but had me jumping out of my chair, checking out the exercises. Guess what, they really worked and I understood why. I now have a new awareness and thanks to the tips in this book, I can do something to change old habits and move on to a more effective, magnetic presentation. Dr Mahler has a wonderful conversational style which immediately puts the reader at ease and into "Let's do this" mode. A must read!"

Resonate is the book that I've been waiting for - it is chockful of simple yet effective tools to make changes in the way I speak, stand, present, enter room a room, shake hands - everything to do with the way that other people perceive me. Dr Mahler, despite her impressive academic credentials, writes with great humour and in a very easy and accessible way. I've used these techniques both for work and in my personal life (I'm on several school committees) and I can feel the change - I'm getting my points across more effectively, people are taking my contributions more seriously, I'm being noticed! This book is a life-changer.
