This month’s book of the month is called ‘Gravitas: Timeless Skills to Communicate with Confidence and Build Trust’ by Dr Louise Mahler.
In Gravitas, Dr Louise Mahler challenges the modern misconception that gravitas is a rare, innate trait. Instead, she reconnects us with the ancient traditions of Greek and Roman orators, skilled communicators who cultivated trust and authority through presence, posture, gesture, and voice.
Mahler combines historical insight with contemporary leadership theory and her own stage-honed techniques to offer a new, actionable model of communication. You’ll discover strategies to beat imposter syndrome, elevate your presence, and authentically connect with any audience, whether in a boardroom, meeting, or on screen.
