Overcoming Anxiety

This book helped me overcome my greatest fear of talking to people. Thanks publishing this book.

The expert advice I need.

A fascinating audiobook from the author(Gerard Shaw) who is clearly an expert on this topic. This book will give you all of the essentials when it comes to speaking in public. It will not make you a sensation overnight but gives you the tools to become better and takes the sting out of what fears us the most about public perception. If you want to refine your skills in the boardroom or classroom, this is definitely a good book to start with.

Just realize that I am small fish in a big pond

I did not know that there are still things that I have a lot of learning, and this book just gave me the awareness of the things that I have to improve.

Recommended!

This audiobook does an effective job of looking at all of the essentials for the communications.

Small price with big packages

I've been reading and buying a lot of self-help books recently and I happened upon this little gem, it's clear and concise tips to improve social interactions are genuinely a big help, social anxiety is an issue for me however I have been practicing what this book has to offer and have learned from it from many levels of anxiety, sometimes I imitate what it the audiobook has provided me but it's helped me to not feel so self-conscious and get involved in conversations more freely, highly recommended!!

Very useful.

This book helped me plan a trip to Ireland. I had a fantastic time. This was a handy guide to know about a place before I got there and to help me decide where to go. There are so very many wonderful places to see in this fantastic country that it made it very helpful to have a guide.

Can be a good present for someone

You can recommend this book to someone who is struggling with anxiety. It will help them a lot.

I used to have someone write my speeches

There was no horrible experience for me when I had to do public speaking, but in my 9 years of giving speeches since I put up my own business, I don’t remember any of my speeches getting such phenomenal success. Honestly, sometimes I just want to get it over with. But I’ve seen friends make the room light up with so much energy. I also observed how that lights up the spirit of their teams.

I am lucky with very loyal people on my side and for many years that I feel that they deserve not just the customary annual speech this year. So, I want it to be more personal and something I personally wrote. I want a speech that would really capture our genuine spirit as a team. I want to give more inspiration and just give them a refreshing speech to celebrate a decade of great accomplishments together. Don’t get me wrong, I know very talented writers who can write you an amazing speech. But I just find that it is missing something for all these years. It is missing the authenticity and the genuineness of my own true thoughts and things I truly want to express towards my colleagues.

Speeches, I realized, is a great opportunity to express a genuine message that can truly make a difference in the morale of your team. I feel more connected to myself reading this book. Although the first few chapters about fear do not directly apply to me, I learned much about how to be truly present in that moment you are delivering a speech. I learned that we can be mindful not only of ourselves but also of others and how what we say can impact others. I love how Gerard Shaw provided very useful insights on how crafting amazing speeches can strengthen any organization towards the ultimate goal of success.

Mixed feelings but there are takeaways to this boo

Mixed Feelings. I wish could have gone a little deeper but it was a way to get people out of their heads and into the conversation can admit that I had done some things that may have been rude during conversations but I can also make sure that I am aware next time I start a conversation with someone I know or am just reading. Can’t wait to see and listen future books from you.

Good Investment

People who want to improve their speech will be a good investment. I love this book very much.
