Story4.5 out of 5 stars 267
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.

Where do I start? What do I say? I don't want to sound like a salesman. How can I relax my prospects? When we are untrained, giving presentations can be difficult. We don't know the real questions in the minds of our prospects. We don't know what triggers a "yes" or "no" decision. Many times, we don't even know where to start.
