The Gravitas Equation
Here’s how world-class speakers actually became world-class. And as you’ll see, speaking
excellence doesn’t require hard work, natural ability or years of practise.
The Gravitas Equation is the framework from which you can speak up in meetings, deliver
presentations, conduct interviews or sales pitches - and be your natural, serious, credible,
playful, humorous self while you're doing it.

Know Yourself
Our own inner qualities, thoughts and feelings are sometimes so hidden and buried by
self-doubt, other people’s expectations, and previous bad experiences that we lose sight of
who we really are.
Yet when we truly know ourselves we find a sense of ease in our speaking that feels unique
and new. You’re released from the tension of feeling you have to impress others - because
others come to appreciate you for who you already are.

Teach Others How To Treat You
If you walk into a room with calm authority and confidence, you will instantly be regarded
with respect.
However if you scuttle in nervously, you shouldn’t be too surprised if you get a less
enthusiastic response.
How you are on the inside affects how you show up on the outside - which subconsciously
tells people how to treat you. So when you take control of yourself… you’re taking control of
them too.

Head and Heart
Learn how the optimal balance of ‘head’ - expertise, facts, data - and ‘heart’ - emotion,
enthusiasm, charisma - creates genuinely outstanding communication.
By developing that ‘warm’ heart and ‘cool’ head you find yourself effortlessly speaking up
in ways that are both useful and interesting - but also compelling and engaging.

In Time or Through Time
Not ‘time management’ but powerful insights into how you experience and optimise these
two types of time.
Exploiting ‘in’ and ‘through’ time is a powerful antidote to over-thinking, panic, self-doubt
and error.
Understanding - and making use of - ‘in’ time and ‘through’ time is a real feature of
mastery in every aspect of your life - not only speaking!
