Publisher's summary

In his 2004 study, sociologist Andrew Zekeri found that oral communication is the number one skill college graduates found useful in the business world. We all have seen confident speakers at work or at parties. It is so easy for them to make new friends and get promoted at work. Why can’t this be you? There are many things that hold us back. Fear, lack of experience, and not knowing where to start, can stop us from taking the first step on the path to becoming a master at public speaking. This book is a collection of the essential methods, strategies, and clear actions distilled from some of the most desirable and coveted courses I have taught.

In this book, you will discover:

  • The number one hurdle that stops us from speaking in public and the strategies you can use to overcome it
  • The simple framework to plan a perfect speech, presentation, or sales pitch
  • The overlooked factors that you need for a flawless delivery of your message
  • An underused strategy you can easily adopt to immediately engage and a build a rapport with an audience of any size
  • The beginning, novice, and advanced approaches to influence and persuade your crowd
  • The essential tactics and tips to master public speaking and improve your professional and personal life

Our communication is one way people size us up or judge us. Whether you agree with it or not, it is used as a gauge at work and in social settings to determine where we stand. Being a better communicator will help you climb both the work and social ladders. I want to help you along the path of being a master at public speaking.

You can become a master at public speaking and improve your communication skills, even if you are paralyzed with fear or have failed every time you have tried.

If you want to become a public speaking master to improve your personal and professional life, scroll up and click Buy.

Excellent Book!

This is an essential guide for preparing and delivering a successful presentation. Before I mastered the strategies and tips from this book, it was very hard for me to stay calm and relaxed before starting my presentation.

Excellent Book!

This is an essential guide for preparing and delivering a successful presentation. Before I mastered the strategies and tips from this book, it was very hard for me to stay calm and relaxed before starting my presentation. I now know how to relax and enjoy myself. As a result, I feel I present better and my audience responds to me. As my presentations have improved, my confidence has increased too.

Great audiobook! Simple, practical advice

This audiobook completely changed my approach to presentations, and I am not easily persuaded. This is a very useful audiobook on all aspects of academic style presentations. I wish everyone who made presentations that I had to endure would listen to it. It seems so simple, but requires a lot of work.

Needs another edit

The ideas described in this book are extremely useful, but some of them would gain even more if they were edited again in the recent years.

This book doesn't only teach one to hold him or herself correctly when speaking in front of a group, but also teaches many things like self-assurance, voice techniques, body movements, motivation for success.

Highly recommend!

A lot in this book might seem overly basic to people. However, if you feel like you struggle with the basics of social interactions, as many of us do, this book is a great guide.
