Why do some of us gladly step forward while others shy away from public speaking, despite having something to say? If you’ve ever watched others take the stage–at conferences, in meetings, or even at your sister’s wedding–and yearned for the confidence to do the same–you can.
In this transformational guide, speaking coach Linda Ugelow delivers a holistic methodology that gets to the root of what’s stopping you from sharing your voice. Through powerful exercises and real-life stories of conquering performance nerves (including her own), Ugelow tells you how to free yourself from the anxieties and psychological roadblocks that are holding you back, and actually learn to enjoy the limelight. You’ll also learn exactly how to effectively prepare for speaking opportunities; how to memorize effectively; how to finally eliminate your use of filler words (like “um” or “right?”); and how to smoothly navigate slip-ups in front of an audience.
This isn’t an audiobook about “feeling the fear and doing it anyway,” it’s about shedding that fear, loving yourself, and embracing opportunities to shine brightly. Whether your audience is online, in the boardroom, in a theatre, or in the workplace, your journey to full self-expression begins here.

As the nature of work changes, and technology carries things across the globe in a moment, communication skills become more valuable–not less. Gallo interviews neuroscientists, economists, historians, billionaires, and business leaders of companies like Google, Nike, and Airbnb to show first-hand how they use their words to captivate your imagination and ignite your dreams.
In the knowledge age–the information economy–you are only as valuable as your ideas. Five Stars is an audiobook to help listeners bridge the gap between mediocrity and exceptionality, and gain the competitive edge in the age of automation.

-The one skill billionaire Warren Buffett says will raise your value by 50 percent.

-The one brain hack Steve Jobs, Leonardo da Vinci, and Picasso used to unlock their best ideas.More praise for Five Stars:
“In Five Stars, Carmine Gallo explains why the ability to communicate separates the 10xer. If your great ideas are locked in your head they are useless to you and your team…Anyone who hopes to survive and flourish in today’s economy should read this book and learn.” — Kim Scott, bestselling author of Radical Candor
“Five Stars is an enormously valuable tool for entrepreneurs and leaders in every field.” — Tony Robbins, New York Times #1 bestselling author
