This book is so good…a treasure trove for anyone looking to elevate their public speaking skills. If you’re serious about being a powerful public speaker, this book is your secret weapon. 5 stars!

Why This Book is Different

The vast majority of us face public speaking with dread. We are overcome by anxiety, fear and even a feeling of inadequacy and intimidation in front of an audience. We marvel at those that speak with confidence with ease and engagement and it seems impossible we could ever be like them.

To make matters worse, we are misled by myths about public speaking that hold us back. Here are three:

🚫 Myth #1: You have to be born a good public speaker.

🚫 Myth #2: Introverts are at a disadvantage when it comes to public speaking.

🚫 Myth #3: You should imagine your audience naked. (Please don’t!)

Fortunately There’s Good News

Like you, I found my own public speaking journey daunting. Early in my career I sweated through my suit at a client presentation. At the same time, I bought into misleading myths about public speaking. I felt stuck, yet I knew public speaking was essential if I were to advance in my career.

I didn’t realize that someone like me, with training, practice and perseverance, could dramatically improve my public speaking skills. I couldn’t imagine that one day I would actually love public speaking and be paid to deliver keynote speeches around the world and be featured in the media, including 60 Minutes, CNN, the New York Times and other sources.

Public speaking took my career to places I never expected and resulted in opportunities I couldn’t have imagined.
Here’s some of what you’ll discover inside. In this book I:

✅ Bring you real-world advice drawn from my real-world experience, sharing many examples

✅ Shatter the myths holding you back

✅ Guide you — in practical ways — to overcome your anxiety and fear

✅ Teach you how to write a compelling speech

✅ Guide you through the many steps of preparing for your speech

✅ Show you how to make a strong, authentic and engaging connection with your audience

✅ Show you best practices in delivering speeches virtually (Zoom, Teams, etc.)

You’ll also receive bonuses, including a speech preparation checklist, PowerPoint template, and more.

Why This Book is Different

Wherever you are in your public speaking journey, from novice to experienced, introvert or extrovert, I wrote this book for you. This is not a dense theoretical textbook devoid of examples. You’ll find easy-to-follow practical advice, along with specific examples, illustrated by stories from my own journey – my successes and my (often humorous) failures.

Unlike other books on public speaking, the author, yours truly, is not a professional speaking coach. I am your peer. Like you, I had to master public speaking for my career. Now, decades after taking that first step in my twenties, I share the lessons I learned with you.

Now, just as I did, it’s time for you to take that first step in your public speaking journey. So click to buy from Amazon and let’s get started – together.
