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.

Public speaking can be terrifying. For David Nihill, the idea of standing in front of an audience was scarier than cliff jumping into a thorny pit of spiders and mothers-in-law. Without a parachute or advanced weaponry. Something had to change.
In what doesn't sound like the best plan ever, David decided to overcome his fears by pretending to be a comedian called "Irish Dave" for one full year, crashing as many comedy clubs, festivals, and shows as possible.

I created and delivered a great presentation
Where does Rule the Room rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This book is near the top of the list. I like how tactile the book is. It does exactaly what it says it is going to do.
Any additional comments?
I bought this book because I am giving more and more presentations and I figured it was worth a shot. I considered myself good at giving effective presentations before going thru Jason's steps...but reading this book and then taking the time to build a presentation following the steps lead to a presentation that was killer and allowed me to land more business. I typically just "shoot from the hip" while speaking, and this book has caused me to realize that it is worth it to put some time into your presentations...and to kill it!

GREAT INFORMATION!!
My position requires that I give LOTS of 3+ hour presentations. After applying only a couple of the principles from this book, I noticed an improved difference in my delivery and class interactions. Jason does a great job of providing practical examples of how you can apply the skills from his book....right away. This book is a must read for those desiring to take their presentation/speaking abilities to the next level.

Learn from this book! I sure did!
Would you listen to Rule the Room again? Why?
Yes, over and over - using as a step by step guide
What three words best describe Jason Teteak’s performance?
Microphone too close...needs pop filter
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
This book is filled with take aways - real good honest advice from an obvious pro!
Any additional comments?
Thank you for writing this book, I thought I was a good presenter. After reading your book I was able to identify quickly how and why I wasn't wowing anyone. I listened to your book several times, I built my presentation step by step and then I did in fact Rule the Room. It was a fantastic feeling to know I got through to my audience. Thank you!
