Publisher's summary

When You Talk, Are People Changed?

Whether you speak from the pulpit, podium, or the front of a classroom, you don't need much more than blank stares and faraway looks to tell you you’re not connecting. Take heart before your audience takes leave! You can convey your message in the powerful, life-changing way it deserves to be told. An insightful, entertaining parable that's an excellent guide for any speaker, Communicating for a Change takes a simple approach to delivering effectively. Join Pastor Ray as he discovers that the secrets to successful speaking are parallel to the lessons a trucker learns on the road. By knowing your destination before you leave (identifying the one basic premise of your message), using your blinkers (making transitions obvious), and implementing five other practical points, you'll drive your message home every time!

"Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away…."

"Once upon a time…."

"In the beginning…."

Great stories capture and hold an audience's attention from start to finish. Why should it be any different when you stand up to speak? In Communicating for a Change, Andy Stanley and Lane Jones offer a unique strategy for communicators seeking to deliver captivating and practical messages. In this highly creative presentation, the authors unpack seven concepts that will empower you to engage and impact your audience in a way that leaves them wanting more.

Outstanding Message on Simple Communication

I love the simplicity and applicability of Pastor Andy’s message. I’ve already started trying to whittle my communication to make it more memorable/palatable and folks at my church have noticeably recalled my sermon big idea! The narration was excellent!

Not a Preacher But Picked Stuff from it

Yes, it may have been focused at preachers but this non-clergy guy still got stuff to improve is communication from.
I realized I wasn’t making my call for implementation or action a strong part of my presentation.
Thanks for the reminder

Me We God You We

Communication is like the trucking business. Know where you’re going and deliver the goods. And make sure the people are interested in your solution.
