More than Words Can Say
The Making of Inspired Speakers
by Saskia Shakin 

Just released!! November 2008

In Saskia’s words, “More Than Words Can Say…dwells less on the mechanics of speaking and more on how you dwell within yourself. When you discover your voice, you'll be able to voice your vision. And when sharing a vision, you shine. Your own light is far brighter than any spotlight could be. …[And ultimately], your job is one of discovery rather than mastery.

An awakened speaker means an audience that stays awake.  Audiences tend to sleep not because you are boring them, they sleep when you are boring yourself! How do they know? They know because they feel disconnected. But…when you are engaged, so are they. When you are sincere, sharing what you know best, when you are having fun, then they stay with you.

…Everyone — from homemaker to lawmaker, from leader to leading lady, from talking head to corporate head — will at one time or another have to stand up and be heard. And even if you are a seasoned speaker, the message of More Than Words Can Say will help you soar.”

Accolades for Saskia & More Than Words Can Say

“Even if you already think you’re an inspired speaker, you’ll be delighted to read this concise explanation as to why, and pleased to recognize the connection Saskia makes between speaking well and living in a way that’s authentic, engaged and vibrant.” – Sylvia Boorstein, author of Happiness Is an Inside Job

“…Utterly fantastic.  It is not often that I come across a nonfiction ‘how-to’ book that is beautifully constructed…I think you have a real winner here!” – Elizabeth Lesser, author of Broken Open and The Seeker’s Guide, co-founder of Omega Institute

“Saskia’s book is as much a guide for living as it is for communicating and communing in any situation.  I was re-energized by her suggestion to “seek significance…and success will follow” in the right way and time.  For all of us busy types, I particularly appreciated the 3-4 page chapters and the pithy, punchy, paradoxical language that makes every other sentence leap off the page right into your heart, mind and soul!” – Terah Cox, author of Birth Angels and The Story of Love & Truth

"There are only a few people who have a major impact on the course of your life. Saskia was one of those people for me. Anyone who has ever delivered a speech in a public forum has experienced a sinking sensation in the pit of her stomach as the time to speak approaches. Many have prayed for a miracle which would remove them from the dais. For me, Saskia was that miracle — only she didn't facilitate my escape from the dais, she made it feel like home.”  Marie R. Corio. Ph.D./ President, Applied Economic Research Co.
