Former Secretary of Transportation, former Secretary of Labor, President of the American Red Cross, wife of co-campaigner Republican presidential nominee and icon Bob Dole, co-campaigner presidential candidate in her own right, and now a Senator from North Carolina, Elizabeth Dole has led a remarkably accomplished life in her climb to being one of the two most influential women in American politics. Her reputation as an effective and inspiring public speaker is not incidental to those accomplishments. In Hearts Touched By Fire, Dole recounts her inexperienced beginnings while running for student office at Duke University, and how understanding the importance of being able to communicate what she had to say ultimately helped to take her and others on her journey. In addition to her own development as a speaker, related with candor and insight, Dole presents 500 of the most time-honored, beloved, and, ultimately inspiring quotationssome of which were said to her personallythat she uses in her role as a leader, legislator and orator. Hearts Touched By Fire is a wonderful collection not only for those interested in public speaking but for anyone who is simply in need of empowering and uplifting words of wisdom.
