Introducing 52 Rhetoric Tips
Speak to Influence. One Rhetoric Tip a Week to Make Your Message Unforgettable
52 Rhetoric Tips: Program Introduction
How would you like to become three times more persuasive as a speaker by this time next year? Most speeches are forgotten within 24 hours. The average presentation fades before the last slide ends. This frustrates me because too many good ideas, products, and services vanish in the noise. But effective communicators? Their words are remembered, quoted, and shared. They do more than deliver information; they move people to act. If you want to be that kind of speaker, one whose words spark change and open doors, then this is for you. At no cost.
Introducing: 52 Rhetoric Tips
One Tip. Once a Week. To Help You Speak with Purpose and Persuade with Power.
Effective oral communication is a set of skills rooted in clarity and persuasion.
To help professionals become more influential communicators, I’m launching a weekly series called 52 Rhetoric Tips. Each week, you’ll discover one specific insight to strengthen your speaking skills. This is something you can apply immediately in your meetings, presentations, or pitches.
This series is built for leaders, entrepreneurs, and liberty-minded professionals who want to connect, convince, and move others to action. The ideas are pulled from my experience as a keynote speaker and certified World-Class Speaking coach, as well as from the lives of some of history’s most impactful speakers, as covered in my upcoming book, Voices of Reason.
Over the next 12 months, you’ll receive:
One persuasive tip per week, grounded in classical and modern rhetoric.
A relevant story or example that makes it memorable.
A short prompt to help you apply the tip in your own voice.
Occasional suggestions about how to explore the ideas further.
These tips are grounded in what works—techniques refined through coaching, speaking, and real-world experience. If you want to persuade with integrity and purpose, this series will help.
Why Rhetoric?
Some people flinch at the word. “That’s just rhetoric,” they say, as if it’s empty talk. For ages, it has been associated with speakers who manipulate emotions for personal gain.
But nearly 2,500 years ago, Aristotle gave rhetoric a different purpose. He taught that the art of persuasion rests on three interrelated pillars: ethos (character), logos (logic), and pathos (emotional appeal). These principles help us speak not just to impress, but to move hearts and minds toward truth.
My goal is to reintroduce these concepts into the modern conversation. Rhetoric, rightly understood, is the foundation of speaking with purpose.
About the book Voices of Reason: Lessons for Liberty’s Leaders
Published by Indie Books International and set for release on September 2, 2025, Voices of Reason explores how courageous communicators used rhetoric to defend freedom, inspire action, and lead with conviction. Many of the tips in this series come from the research and ideas in the book.
If you follow along each week, you’ll get a preview of what the book will offer and a head start in applying these principles to your own speaking.
