Judy Carter believes ordinary people have the ability to find the extraordinary stories tucked away deep inside of them, stories that not only make a difference in the lives of others, but can also result in a moneymaking career for the speaker. "The Message of You" is a step-by-step handbook that takes readers through the coaching process. Judy uses to guide her students and clients in turning their real life experiences into motivational speeches. The results not only inspire audiences to take action, but often also launch a brand-new career or platform for the speaker. As evidenced by the viral success of the online TED talks or the surprising appeal of The King's Speech, people want to hear the real life stories of their peers, their idols and even their neighbors. People want to tell their own stories and be applauded, recognized, and validated. In her twenty-five years on the speaking circuit, Judy has seen it happen over and over again. A person who feels they are "nobody" steps up, tells their story, and then discovers that they truly are "somebody" in this world.
"The Message of You" offers an accessible approach, big picture guidance, and nitty-gritty nuts and bolts of sound advice. The business of public speaking is on the rise and there is a huge demand for this kind of book. Carter's credentials, high profile client list, and track record make her the perfect person to nurture the next generation of public speakers.
