Vivimos rodeados de palabras, inmersos en un tráfico constante de expresiones en un mundo que es diálogo por naturaleza. ¿Alguna vez te has parado a pensar en el poder que te confiere el habla? Un buen discurso es la clave del éxito. 'Saber hablar' reivindica el arte de la comunicación oral, motor de las relaciones interpersonales, sociales, económicas y profesionales, en un tiempo donde impera el dominio del verbo.
