Synopsis:

Don't let Public Speaking Anxiety or Fear or a lack of Self-Confidence get the Better of You

Speaking in public, whether it is for a company presentation or in front of a large public audience, can be a frightening experience, but with proper planning and practicing you can reduce the amount of anxiety you will experience and develop the self-confidence needed to deliver a killer talk or presentation. Perhaps you are inspired by your favorite TED speakers, and you want to understand how they prepare and plan for a talk. This book will help you do just that. I started speaking in public three years ago to help promote my video training business, and like most people, I was terrified, but the more I did it, and the more I prepared, the easier it becomes. In this book, I have I written down all the tips and tricks that I have learned on my journey from novice to a professional speaker where I have traveled the world speaking at large tech conferences.

In this book you will learn...

How to create engaging presentations
How to best prepare for giving a talk, mentally and physically
How to deliver a great talk with confidence like a professional TED speaker
