Synopsis

Speak So Your Audience Will Listen is a book for anyone who has to deliver a message, tell a story - or speak to another human being. Most of us are quite relaxed and confident when we're with our friends and family. We can tell a story or even tell a joke. But put us on a platform and we can feel very different. When we speak to an audience, we often put on a public mask ... and use a different voice. Why can’t we seem to be ourselves when we give a talk? In this book we will look at all aspects of spoken communication, from structure right through to delivery. We will learn how to have a conversation with our audience - to be ourselves - so that we connect with them every time we speak.In 7 simple steps you can learn to be a confident and authentic public speaker. There are specific exercises at the end of every section for you to practice.Whether you’re a CEO presenting to shareholders, a manager motivating your team, an entrepreneur selling a business, a creative pitching an idea, a charity worker asking for donations or a parent speaking at your daughter’s wedding, this book will help you become a confident and authentic public speaker, so that when you speak, your audience will listen. And, hopefully, you'll enjoy the experience too.
