Publisher's Synopsis
You can successfully learn to stand up in front of any audience and present on any topic, if you put the effort into becoming a public speaker. Speaking publicly is less about talent and more about preparation and technique. The purpose of this book is to help you to understand what you need to become an effective speaker and to give you the tools you need to put it all together for an effective public presentation. Will it take away all your fears and doubts? No one can promise that. But I can promise you will find herein the tools to effectively overcome those fears, those doubts, long enough to successfully present the next time your boss, your organization president, a civic leader, or your pastor looks directly at you and says, "That should be the topic of our next meeting; who wants to volunteer?" And who knows? You might, like this introvert, discover that with enough preparation and practice, you can actually get pretty good at it.
