Synopsis

Are you uncomfortable--even afraid--about the prospect of speaking before a group of people? Do you have trouble getting your message across? When you speak, do others listen--or can you feel their attention wandering?

In this book, he distills his expertise into a fresh new approach to speaking, with examples and how-to exercises that anyone can follow. Spend a few evenings with his book, and you will discover how to win the emotional trust of others--the true basis of communicating in any situation.
