About The Book

Love it or hate it, we are all teachers. Whether walking clients through a new program, guiding an audience through a novel proposition, or helping our children to kick a soccer ball, nearly every day we work to disseminate knowledge and wisdom to others. The problem is that very few of us have ever been taught how to teach!

Drawing on Jared Cooney Horvath’s nearly 15 years of experience conducting brain research at prominent universities, teaching students from 10 to 80 years of age, and working closely with organizations and schools across 4 continents, Stop Talking, Start Influencing outlines 12 scientific principles of how people learn. The result is a book that shows readers how to impart their knowledge to others in a manner that sticks with and truly influences them — regardless of the situation or circumstance.

For every business leader sick of repeating themselves ad nauseam to colleagues and clients, for every coach tired of endlessly drilling athletes without seeing meaningful improvement, for every entrepreneur who’s had enough of pouring their heart into presentations only to see no lasting impact among the audience … it’s time to stop talking and start influencing!

Raves and Reviews

“Stop Talking, Start Influencing” is a very stimulating new book ... providing fascinating insights from brain science to help leaders, teachers, coaches and just about anyone communicate better and enjoy life more. ... His chapter on Stress alone was the best explanation I have ever read about how stress impacts our brains both negatively and positively. Every chapter has “implications” about how you can use this information in your work and life.”

“This is a book that I’ll come back to again and again for the science, explanations and practical tips. But I might also come back to it and read it again just because I enjoyed reading it. And that was unexpected.”

– TES

“During the introduction, Jared Cooney Horvath promises foundations explored in this book are supported by scientific research, and everything will make perfect sense by the time you reach the end. Both these promises were fulfilled, and I feel I am now better equipped to make a lasting impact on my audiences. I highly recommend Stop Talking Start Influencing to leaders, educators and professional speakers.”
