What’s In a Name?: When You’re Speaking Publicly, It’s Likely More Than You Think

Monday Morning Radio

Most people fail to say their own name correctly.

Odd as that may sound, Laura Sicola explains her assertion in a YouTube video that is approaching 7 million views.

Dr. Sicola earned her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in educational linguistics and taught there from 2001-2013. She has more than two decades of experience teaching good vocal habits to executives at companies including Comcast, IBM, and Vanguard.

She is the author of Speaking to Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice.

As Dr. Sicola explains on this week’s episode, how leaders introduce themselves, whether from a speaker’s podium or meeting someone for the first time one-on-one, will help determine how effectively they convey the messages that follow.

How well do you articulate your name?

Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.
