PERSUASION: How To Pitch Your Ideas And Own The Room is a treasure trove of knowledge that provides good insight into navigating the business world and one’s own intrapersonal relationships.
The book develops readers for a new and uncertain world, especially in the age of Zoom calls and remote conversations, by easing readers back into a one-on-one conversation. Mayté Carvalho presents Persuasion as the opportunity for being a true enthusiast of speech and confidence by breaking down the theory of rhetoric into the much more digestible language of everyday use. No more having to look up difficult meanings and assumptions based off of Aristotle's convoluted metaphors, but instead, speaking in a straightforward instance.
Persuasion’s initial release in Portuguese is now translated into English expanding the conventional understanding of corporate conversation into an international interaction from one nation to another presenting a universal reality: You can be confident in delivery.

ABOUT
From childhood, Laura Linn loved to go to the movies. Like many youngsters, she dreamed of one day becoming a successful actor like the stars she followed on the big screen. She started to pursue her dream, first studying Filmmaking in Brazil, her country of birth, and then making her full transition to pursue acting, moving to the United States to study at UCLA and at the two year conservatory program at the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts (AADA) in New York City.
Years later, after a huge amount of hard work, Laura stands on the brink of success and recognition she has been striving for, having worked with award winning directors such as Oscar nominated Darrell Roodt, and having obtained her O1 visa as an actress, a temporary residency visa as an extraordinary talent. Laura has now achieved one of the biggest goals for foreign actors, her Green Card as an alien of extraordinary ability.
Her autobiographical book Into The Furnace is the story of how she followed, and finally began to live, her acting dream.
