The 3-Step Speech: How to Build a Message, Feel Confident, and Have Fun

“Always do what you are afraid to do.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson In this easy to read book, Erin Lovell Ebanks sums up the basics of public speaking as 3 essential steps to presenting: building an effective message, feeling great about it, and understanding how this skill can lead to lifelong success. Through these steps, she shows that anyone can not only survive their public speaking experiences, but thrive as a result of them. Through the addition of insightful interviews with a variety of public speaking professionals, Ebanks proves that even those initially overcome with fear can learn to truly love the art of developing and delivering a message. Ebanks has a BA in Communication Studies and an MA in Mass Media Communication.
