Great Info Told by an Unenthusiastic Speaker

The tips were great! The person's expression while reading the book, not so much. I wish the author himself would have read it based on his last few seconds of thanks in the recording. He had refreshing energy in contrast with the person reading his book.

Extremely Relatable

This book was an amazing way of understanding myself and finding answers to for briefing

helpful, well thought out approach

easy to listen to; narrative with pleasant cadence. I don't know if this, in my own story, will help me out or just freak me out more...

Helpful

Any additional comments?

Contains some helpful info. The title is appropriate. Covers the aspects of giving a great speech.

Set the speed to 1.2

Great book, but the narrative is too slow. Set the speed to 1.2 at least to keep it easy to listen.

Helped Me Speak in Front of 100 People

I’m terrified of public speaking. Even in a little department meeting in a conference room I turn beet red when I’m asked a question and the other ten or so heads turn to face me. So when my new manager at my new job asked me to do a presentation in front of about 100 other employees, I said yes, and was instantly filled with dread. I had never spoken in front of more than maybe fifteen people, and that was twenty years ago in college. This book was my savior. I listened twice, taking extensive notes the second time around. My presentation ended up being a big success. Everyone laughed at the right places, and some even joined in the discussion just like I had suggested. Afterwards several people told me in person or emailed me to let me know what a great job I had done. Some other managers told my manager how much they enjoyed my presentation. Thank you Matt Kramer for this wonderful book.
