In this uncertain economy, where communication skills are paramount to either retaining the position you have or helping you land a scarce new one, wouldn't it be great to have the skills to speak like Barack Obama?

Unlike many other human endeavors, speaking well is NOT something to which one must be born. Rather, it's a matter or learning a set of new behaviors (and letting go of a few old ones) and then applying those new behaviors every time you speak.

If you feel either uncomfortable or ineffective when you speak - the two are well connected - it's because you've been engaging and developing counterproductive behaviors from as long ago as your first stand-up book report in grade school.
