You Create Your Future
With Every Word You Speak
Sales representatives, business owners, professionals, team leaders, trainers and employees at every level can transform working into satisfying and successful living. Job candidates and career transition seekers can land the ideal job and compensation. Even first-time entrepreneurs can create the ideal business by attracting and retaining the right clients and investors.
Here’s what you need to know: the difference between failure and success is knowing what to say and when to say it. Every day you have the opportunity to say the one thing that will transform your life. I guarantee you can say it tomorrow. The secret is a concept called communication leadership.
The Speak Up System gives you the backbone of success for communication leadership. This system delivers predictable and consistent success for you with prospects, customers, co-workers, superiors, subordinates, trainees, team members, suppliers and investors.
Communication leaders balance compassion with
self-interest. All speaking is public speaking.
There is no casual conversation.

You come away empowered to re-vitalize relationships and launch the most successful phase of your career: no matter what your work history has been, or what your role, title or pay grade currently is. From now on, you’ll map your meetings, large and small, to arrive at your destination of success in time to enjoy it.
You may already be in the habit of listening so well that you are simply vacuuming up the litter in other people’s minds. An open mind is as dangerous as an open wound. You may have already caught what s going around: poor work habits, lack of self-motivation, failure and depression. The cure for it all is an outcome-mind, which you build via the Speak Up System.

Why You Must Read This Book
“It’s been said that some of the greatest musicians in the world have never played a note – because they never knew they had the talent. Someone could have perfect pitch their entire lives, and never take advantage of it.
Similarly, you could have the greatest ideas in the world. But if you can’t put them into words – if you can’t get them out on the table – if you aren’t able to be heard and understood by the people who make the decisions – those great ideas will die inside of you, without ever having the chance to rise up and shine.
I know something about this. My name is Peter Shankman, and I’ve given over 2,500 keynotes to corporations all around the world, on six continents. I’ve spoken to heads of state, I’ve spoken to Fortune 10 CEOs. I’ve started and sold three companies, the most recent one being a company that fundamentally changed how journalists and sources interacted.
Yet, none of that would have been even remotely possible, if I hadn’t learned to voice my ideas, if I hadn’t learned to speak up, and if I hadn’t known how to put my thoughts into actionable verse when it came down to my moment to shine. Without knowing that, I wouldn’t be even remotely as successful as I am.
That’s why “Speak Up and Succeed,” is so important. In today’s social and technological age, where the average attention span is 2.7 seconds, you’ve got one shot – roughly 160 characters, to get your words out, powerfully, and accurately, to the people who matter. Until you can do that, nothing else matters.
Read this book. Nance Rosen has put together the ultimate primer for those who want to succeed. Whether you get tongue-tied on a daily basis, or speak to the world multiple times a week, there is gold in these pages.
It’s time to take what you say to the next level – and beyond.”
