The power of rhetoric
Cicero trained his voice against the sound of the waves. Demosthenes rehearsed with pebbles in his mouth. Churchill repeated every speech in front of the mirror. The greatest orators in history were not born fluent... they learned to speak the way someone learns to lift weights. This Radar shows why rhetoric is the most underestimated muscle of any career, and why the professional who knows how to name what she does rises faster than the technically equal or superior colleague who cannot explain herself.
