From a professional point of view, it can help to increase the possibilities in a job interview, get more credibility and attention in work meetings, obtain better results in an examination, attract clients for a company or project, gain the confidence of your team, and leadership.

It helps you to be yourself before an audience or a group of people, managing your anxiety to the point of being able to lower it to a minimum, showing naturalness in our non-verbal communication, being able to express your ideas, obtain a great social reinforcement, and self-esteem that is greatly reinforced.

Great job by the author!

Public speaking is one of the greatest fears in life. It can also encroach on our development. If you are among those who hesitate to take public speaking, take your courage together. After listening to this audio-book, I reveal here one of my secrets to convince when I give a conference or a public intervention.

Be a pro speaker!

If tomorrow you want others to follow your guidelines, you will need to communicate with passion, security, and without shame. The art of public speaking is becoming as important as any other social skill, and I believe that soon, it will be even more so. This audio-book helps me a lot.

Speakers of All Kinds!

This book has everything you could ask for - from self-assessments to explore your calling and readiness to be a speaker, a full understanding of the professional speaking business, strategy development tools to boost your career, to what to do when you're finally ready to step out into the spotlight for the first time as well as every time after that. R. Breton makes it abundantly clear that speaking for a living is a constant process of self-reflection, self-development and building your network.
As with the prior version of Speak for a Living, this edition has invaluable insights for anticipating, facing, and overcoming technical, logistical, communications, interpersonal challenges that are common not only in the public speaking industry but to everyone who presents for a living including trainers, managers, executive leadership, students and parents!

Solid Information about Speaking as a Profession.

Most books on speaking talk about how to present better. Few offer you the insight into the BUSINESS of speaking. Read this if you are good in front of an audience and have ever wondered if you could be paid to do it full-time. Also, good for experienced speakers, trainers, and consultants who want to pursue additional revenue streams and upgrade their efforts. Highly recommend it if you are interested in speaking professionally!

Profoundly helpful

I'm a new author who needed to start doing talks about my own book and the spotlight used to scare me. I was unsure about this new environment.

Am I ever glad I listen to it! It provides so many practical tips, techniques, and how-to's that were incredibly valuable for my talks. Paul's book helped to shift my mindset on many points around speaking. One of the most valuable things I learned in this book is that the audience actually WANTS me to succeed so that they can relax and enjoy the talk. That alone shifted a lot of my worry and fear.

For anyone wanting to brush up or learn public speaking skills, this book is a MUST.

Exactly As Advertised!

Definitely some great tips to becoming a better speaker and a great angle from which to attack the problem. Full disclosure is that I know the author and he is a great guy. Very impressed with his book and the research he has clearly done to get it out there.

This book will make you a pro!

This is a great book for the beginner - it lays out the basis very, very well. Once you have read it, you will be able to get in front of your team at work, or in front of a group in Church.

Once you have mastered the skill set here, there are other great books to get you on your way, one of those is Mastering Persuasive Public Speaking, check out when you are ready to move from basic to advanced.

Definitely worth listening!

Public speaking is like making love. Not knowing how to speak in public generates anxiety. Oral communication contains many personal and contextual parameters that do not allow this systematic approach. Before going further, it may be worth clarifying the terms used throughout this book and the links they have between them. Great job by the author.

Not your typical public speaking book!

This book deals with public speaking, a skill that most executives and leaders will need to employ at some point. I've read a lot of books on this topic, as it's something that I struggle with and this one really resonates with me.

Full of helpful tips

Caryl R. Breton's experience with public speaking provides the reader with useful tips and concrete examples without being "gimmicky". Their book is easy to read and allows you to pick and choose what applies to your particular 'speaking' circumstance. The authors give you lots to think about as you prepare your own speeches, presentations, or lectures. As a university professor, I really got a lot out of the book.
