Program Description
Description
The title for this month is Thank You for Arguing: What Aristotle, Lincoln and Homer Can Teach Us About the Art of Persuasion by Jay Heiricks, 2007
An introduction to the art of rhetoric explains how persuasion can profoundly influence personal and professional successes and reveals an array of techniques employed by Aristotle and Winston Churchill. Heiricks coaches speakers on how to remove anger from the equation and rely on rhetorical strategy instead.
