This program is the outgrowth of a 17-year study on communication by Dave Yoho — one of America's most sought-after business speakers and consultants — which produced the revolutionary Power Linguistics™ program.

Power Linguistics™ is not simply about public speaking technique. It is the systematic study of how the most successful salespeople, managers, consultants, preachers, teachers, lawyers, and leaders in history have actually communicated — and what you can do to replicate their results in every interaction.

As a special bonus, you'll gain insight into the communication mastery of Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg, Dr. Martin Luther King on the bridge in Birmingham, Winston Churchill in World War II, and Mother Teresa in India — understanding exactly what made their words so unforgettable and effective.

What You'll Learn

  • How to get the specific outcomes you want from every presentation and conversation
  • The power of the Post-Negative Suggestion — one of the most influential persuasion tools known
  • How to use power words, phrases, and embedded commands effectively
  • The secrets of power positioning — where and how to sit or stand when interacting with others
  • How to create high energy in yourself and your audience
  • Hypernesia and revivification: advanced techniques for making your communication unforgettable
  • How to become a superstar manager, salesperson, or leader at any level
