"I was first made aware of Caroline Goyder when I read her piece on CNN entitled, "What ancient Romans can teach you about leadership." I was immediately drawn in by her words and assigned the book to my team as part of our leadership reading series. It was by far one of our favorite books. You can tell that Caroline knows her craft and is a great teacher and writer. She introduces the reader to some fairly sophisticated topics in concise and easily digestible pieces. I will continue to use this book as a reference while building my own personal as well as professional brand. The best thing about Gravitas is that anyone can pick it up, read her wisdom and apply immediately. If you feel stuck and want to recharge your brand, then Gravitas is a must read."

Gravitas Communicate with Confidence Influence and Authority Caroline Goyder 8601404463808 Books Reviews
- Lots of great points to embrace in life whether you public speak or not. Easy to read chapters and headliners. Goyder points out that many of the principles are as old as the Roman Empire...tried and true principles of effective communication. I think reading this book help's one not only be more aware of one's own communication style but that of others too. You'll start to notice how many seasoned, successful politicians employ these very techniques. A general principle that weaves through this book is one of slowing down one's brain and breathing - as in yoga or meditation, be clear in your intention (thoughts), and then express those thoughts in as simple a manner as possible. The analogy comes to mind of giving a lost out-of-towner directions and they have nothing to write it down, only their memory. You want to keep it simple, you want them to remember, you want to help them get from A to B. This book provides the principles, the techniques and the suggestions to begin that journey to Gravitas, the power of confidence.

- I love this book because it actually teaches a new concept, Gravitas. The book is full little golden nuggets of wisdom. Especially, Part Two Gravitas in Action was very insightful for me giving many practical and readily actionable advice. Be sure to check out Caroline's TEDx talk and see Gravitas in action [...]
- Career's saver book. I was literally able to get a job of my dreams by applying the simple techniques taught in this book.
Speech is physical and it has a lot to do with inner confidence. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve his speeches and wants to be heard when speaking. - This book has helped me in so many ways. So thankful the writer put this book filled with actionable advice together. A great resource for anyone looking to grow their softer skills.
- Good book on a topic that is rarely discussed. Lots of good stories and sound advice.
- Lots of good information to think about and consider. The book itself drags. I just wound up jumping around to topics I thought would help me and skimming it.
- The previous positive comments have said it all, and I agree with them. This is a useful, well-written, clear book written from the voice of teaching experience. So I'll add that I heard Caroline Royder interviewed on a podcast. Her advice seemed good, but I wanted to hear more. I got the book - very graciously given to me as a freebie for listening to the podcast! - and did some targeted skimming. I had a presentation coming up and looked for pertinent advice. I have been doing some kind of public speaking for decades, but you can always improve, right? As an experiment, I closely followed her advice and put my own habits aside. The presentation ended up being one of the best I've done. And for the first time, someone came up to me afterwards and told me she liked my voice. I am starting my own business, and am using her advice on making phone calls. So, all in all, this book has proven itself to me. I trust her advice.
