Have you ever struggled to stand up and speak in front of an audience? You may be able to relate in some part to my story, being asked to speak to a group of people and feeling under-prepared. You may be able to relate to the crippling fear and the irrational thoughts that take over your normally rational mind. If this is such a feared topic, why would anyone want to improve or even master this skill?

It is human nature to move towards experiences that give us pleasure and move away from experiences that cause us pain, so listening to an audiobook on public speaking appears to be counter intuitive to say the least. However, the fact remains that public speaking is an important skill and it is fundamental in many careers, particularly in management and leadership roles, regardless of the industry or even the country you operate in. Perhaps most importantly, public speaking is completely transferable.

This book is designed to help you with four things:

1. Provide the tools to become the best version of you during your speech or presentation
2. Show you how to craft a clear and concise speech
3. Demonstrate techniques to allow you to deliver a compelling speech with style
4. Give you a proven way to reduce your levels of anxiety of public speaking
