Book Description:

"How to communicate with power, poise and confidence. 

Mariella Frostrup, Observer columnist and radio/TV host has chosen Gravitas by Caroline Goyder, Vermilion as one of her summer reads in The Observer ‘The trick to achieving Gravitas, according to its author, Caroline Goyder, is to "fake yourself under pressure", which I'll also be learning more about. If I get through them all by autumn I'll be practically perfect and ready to start afresh on my Observer column readers!’"
