Details: ✅ If You Want to Become an Exceptional & Confident Speaker, Overcoming Fear & Anxiety, Then I Have Written This Book for You. Perhaps like you, I found my own public speaking journey daunting. Early in my career, I sweated through my suit at a client presentation. I felt stuck, yet I knew public speaking was essential if I were to advance in my career. At the same time, I bought into many misleading myths about public speaking that held me back, including:

🚫 Myth #1: You have to be born a good public speaker.

🚫 Myth #2: Introverts are at a disadvantage when it comes to public speaking.

🚫 Myth #3: You should imagine your audience naked. (Please don’t!)

There are many more, and I discuss them in the book.

I am not a professional speaking coach -- I'm your peer, someone for whom public speaking is an essential skill I needed to master. Public speaking has taken my career to places I never expected and has resulted in opportunities I couldn’t have imagined. However, the vast majority of us -- including me, early in my career -- face public speaking with dread. We are overcome by anxiety, fear and even a feeling of inadequacy and intimidation in front of an audience. We marvel at those who speak with confidence with ease and engagement and it seems impossible that we could ever be like them. We may never have had any public speaking training and buy into myths like those above.

I didn’t realize that someone like me, with training, practice and perseverance, could dramatically improve my public speaking skills. I couldn’t imagine that one day I would actually love public speaking and be paid to deliver keynote speeches around the world.

Public speaking dramatically elevated my career, resulting in many opportunities I wouldn't have otherwise been offered. It also led to my becoming featured in the media, including 60 Minutes, CNN, NPR, Good Morning America, PBS NewsHour, the New York Times, and several documentaries.

In this book I:

✅ Bring you real-world advice drawn from my real-world experience, sharing many examples

✅ Shatter the myths holding you back

✅ Guide you -- in practical ways -- to overcome your anxiety and fear

✅ Teach you how to write a compelling speech

✅ Guide you through the many steps of preparing for your speech

✅ Show you how to make a strong, authentic and engaging connection with your audience

✅ Show you best practices in delivering speeches virtually (Zoom, Teams, etc.)

✅ Provide you with 7 BONUSES, including a 17-page Speech Preparation Checklist, PowerPoint template and more!

Why This Book is Different

Wherever you are in your public speaking journey, from novice to experienced, introvert or extrovert, I wrote this book for you. This is not a dense theoretical textbook devoid of examples. You’ll find easy-to-follow practical advice, along with specific examples, illustrated by stories from my own journey – my successes and my (often humorous) failures.

Public speaking doesn't have to be something you dread. I know from my own experience that you can reach a new level as a stand-out public speaker, confident and captivating.
