What if you could get people to listen to you in every situation? And in addition, get them to want to listen? Would that make life easier? Rhetoric is not the art of speaking – it is the art of getting others to listen. This book does not deal with the history of rhetoric – nor is it a book that teaches you how to 'talk nicely' – as many people might think when they hear the word 'rhetoric'. This book will teach you to speak effectively and increase the motivation of your listeners. Teaching you how to be professional and personal, without being private.
