The document provides five recommendations for speaking as a leader: (1) use inspiration to reveal beliefs and encourage actions; (2) stop using excessive information by keeping it concise and high-level; (3) keep content positive by setting the right tone and using repetition; (4) avoid negativity as it undercuts leadership; and (5) focus on solutions rather than just acknowledging problems. Each recommendation is accompanied by an explanation of why it is important and how to implement it. Activities are also provided to help apply each recommendation.
