Description:
I’m sure you’re well-aware that public speaking is a powerful career activator. It is also not, contrary to popular belief, a leading cause of death.
For those of us who don’t feel like naturally energetic speakers, charismatic performers, or graceful networkers, public speaking can feel like an overwhelming task. But it’s also true that the more we speak, the more it can open doors for our businesses and careers. If we know how to do it well, public speaking is one of the best ways to connect our ideas to the people who need to hear them.
Luckily, confident public speaking is a skill that can be practiced and developed. I’ve taught hundreds of public speaking students, and I’ve watched all of them use these skills to gain confidence and effectiveness as speakers. Whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between, this workbook is designed to help you level up your public speaking game.
How would it feel to walk into your next presentation with the knowledge that your topic is captivating, you know exactly what to do with your hands, and your audience is going to enjoy hearing your speech?
With this toolkit, you’re about to find out.
