Wonderful!

I'm one of those weird introverts that enjoys public speaking, but that didn't happen until I was older. Like the Warren Buffett example in this book, when I was younger I was afraid to even introduce myself the first day of school.

Feeling comfortable with public speaking takes some learning, and I have taken several classes on it, and I feel that this book captures everything I've been taught in the past, plus stuff I've never thought of. And it was well organized and easy to read. I am sure I'll reference this book in the future, and I highly recommend it.

As someone who fainted speaking to a room full of 3 people to now confidently speaking to thousands every week, the strategies discussed in this book are what I’ve been using and teaching for years to enhance speaking skills. Start with why, be confident in your delivery, practice, engage your audience, and release the judgement of others. You have a powerful message to share with others. Excellent book to help you get started!

how to talk to anyone or thousands

This book was great from the very beginning. I will say I can’t forget the image of that young boy on a stage, presenting his first poem. For that. If you want to learn how to speak in front of people, it’s not just about being born a confident speaker. You can be taught. This book will help you overcome the fear. From strategies for calming your nerves, to powerful ways for connecting with your audience this makes it seem easier.

Good advice for introvert

How to talk to anyone or thousands is a great tool for a person who is nervous about public speaking. I am nervous about doing lives on social media. But if I am doing a zone on one interview I am very confident. In some areas I am good and others I am not.
