Watch Samara’s TED talk
The One Thing Every Great Speaker Does (And No One Teaches)
When the stakes rise we prepare, we control, we hide… and end up sounding like a robot in the exact moments we most want to connect. Samara Bay has discovered that the speakers who move us and make lifechanging impact aren't the most polished or the most confident—they've made one radical decision.
It's simpler than you think, and it changes everything.

Samara
Samara Bay is the author of the #1 bestselling business book Permission to Speak and a professor at USC Annenberg School of Communication & Journalism.
She is a private advisor to global business leaders, creatives, rising athletes, and candidates for office—all on the same thing:
how to show up fully in the moments that matter most.
“I was expecting Samara to offer really great insights on things like word choice, big ideas, emotional messaging. But she went so far beyond my expectations.
she got me to think so much bigger and more precisely about my dreams, which was a wonderful revelation, and goes far beyond delivering any one particular talk or speech.”
