Reflections

Have you ever had to make a speech? Did you struggle to decide what to speak about? Well, help is here! Reflections: Speeches from the Heart is a collected work of speeches and how tos that teaches you how to write and present a speech, and gives practical examples of how you can mine experiences in your own life to personalize your speeches and connect with your audience.

The collection, drawn from a long and well-lived life, is a boon to professional as well as amateur speakers. The selected speeches include reflections on life, local and world events, and theological subjects. In these pages you will learn to craft and deliver strong speeches so that when you are called on to speak to audiences large or small, you can rise to the occasion feeling confident and inspired.

Rob Peck has seventy-five years of life experience and over forty years of public speaking experience, which he brings to this helpful how to.

In his first twenty-five years Rob travelled a lot. In the last fifty years not so much. Over the years he has sought out supportive communities who have helped him with the challenges that life inevitably brings to us all. Those communities have included family, church, neighbourhood friends, classmates from school, and Toastmasters International, a non-profit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of clubs.

Reflecting on life and the art of public speaking, Rob saw how his views had evolved over the last three decades, and decided to share that knowledge and expertise with a wider audience. He wants to encourage every reader to consider what's important in their life, and to learn how to express that in public.

Rob lives in Toronto with his wife, Julia. Their daughter, Jennifer, and her husband currently live with them as well. Though they have no pets, they do have a host of goldfish in their backyard pond.
