Have you been around speakers who put life into everything they say? These charismatic speakers seem to be so good that most of us just throw up our arms and say "I wish I could speak like that."
In this presentation, Vikas Jhingran contends that these speakers are just following some simple rules that elevate their speeches to a higher level. He will talk about some of these rules and show you how you too can become a charismatic speaker.
