We are living through a period of unprecedented uncertainty and upheaval in both our personal and professional lives. So it should come as a surprise to exactly no one that trust, human connection, and mental well-being are all on the decline. This may seem like no laughing matter. Yet, the research shows that humor and laughter are among the most valuable tools we have at our disposal for strengthening bonds and relationships, diffusing stress and tension, boosting resilience, and performing when the stakes are high.

Most of us are quite relaxed and confident when we're with our friends and family. We can tell a story or even tell a joke. But put us on a platform and we can feel very different. When we speak to an audience, we often put on a public mask; and use a different voice. Why can't we seem to be ourselves when we give a talk? In this audiobook, we will look at all aspects of spoken communication, from structure right through to delivery. We will learn how to have a conversation with our audience - to be ourselves - so that we connect with them every time we speak.

Great Information
Instructional and insightful. Listen to this mainly for writing tips and there was plenty for me to take away. The tips on public speaking and stage fright (to understand and embrace it) would come in very useful in a business environment as well.

Very helpful and reasonable.
I chose this book to improve on my communications skills. I think David does a good job at helping you organize your speech. The book is an easy to listen with plenty of examples and tips. Highly recommended!

Extremely Good
This book breaks the wall that I often hit with other business books. The knowledge here is actionable! If you follow the worksheets as you read you will walk away with better stories, funnier intros and a better sense of how to speak in public. A solid understanding of the basics leads into practical and useful tips.

This was a great book.
An overall fantastic book! The author really breaks down the mechanics of being funny in a way that's easy, and authentic! I love it because I feel like it can make anyone conversationally funny.

Interesting
I bought this as a gift for my nephew who's heading off to college. He knows that girls like guys who are "funny"..."witty" "self-deprecating".... I think this will give him confidence. Really helpful.

Great for Everyone!
Great book. From this book all listeners will learn something about themselves and come away from reading the book with some great ideas, I'd particularly recommend the book for high school, college, and young adults starting out in the social world or workplace, and adults of all ages who feel somewhat shy, introverted, socially anxious, or awkward.
