8 Keys to Transformative Communication - What if your biggest communication disasters could become your greatest superpowers? 


In a world overflowing with polished pitches and artificial content, the true competitive advantage isn’t perfection, it’s vulnerability. And when harnessed with the right tools, it becomes your ultimate strength.

Meet communication expert and author Jordana Borensztajn, who once dressed as a giant ‘Like’ button and was escorted off Facebook’s Silicon Valley campus. Who bombed so badly on a cruise ship that passengers demanded she “get off” mid-sail. Who wedged a raw egg in her mouth chasing social media fame and instead injured her jaw. 

Career-ending catastrophes? Not quite. Each humiliating fail became fuel for transformation.

In her new book The Little Book of Influence, Jordana introduces the PRESENCE framework, showcasing the eight keys to authentic influence. 

With trademark humour and honesty, Jordana shows how to turn awkward moments into assets, building influence not through slickness but through presence, connection and humanity. 

In this super practical book, readers will learn how to:
  • Transform failure into influence and confidence
  • Read any room like a detective, spotting unspoken truths in every conversation
  • Turn your biggest fears into powerful communication tools
  • Use three magic words that ignite anyone's hidden potential
  • Master the silent language that speaks louder than words

The Little Book of Influence is more than a communication guide - it’s a call to embrace your flaws, share your truth and discover the real power that comes from showing up as yourself.
