Former White House Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki shares the surprising lessons she’s learned on her path to success and offers advice about how to be a more effective communicator in any situation in Say More: Lessons from Work, the White House, and the World. 

From the start of President Biden’s administration, Psaki worked with him to set a new tone for the country, restoring a sense of calm and respect for the role of the media in our democracy. Candid and clear, Psaki quickly became known for her ability to break through the noise and successfully deliver her message. In Say More, she shares her journey to the Briefing Room and beyond, from the campaign trail, to the State Department, to inside the White House under two Presidents. Psaki explains her straightforward approach to communication through difficult conversations as well as moments where humor saves the day—whether it is with preschoolers, partners, or presidents. She addresses the best ways to give and receive feedback, how to connect with your audience, how to listen actively, and more.  

Psaki will be in conversation with Kara Swisher, an award-winning journalist, the host of “On with Kara Swisher” and cohost of “Pivot,” and the author of the New York Times bestseller, Burn Book: A Tech Love Story.
