    About this ebook

    According to an article on WebMD, "The idea of making a presentation in public is the No. 1 fear reported by people in the U.S."

    While you may never be called upon to be a professional Tony Robbins, encouraging the masses towards higher reaches of success, you are likely to be asked to speak in a team meeting at work, a little league practice, a presentation at school or to make some other type of public presentation, not just once but many times throughout your long and busy life.

    Being comfortable speaking in front of a group is more important today than perhaps at any other time in history. While it may have been easy for historic greats like Thomas Edison to avoid speeches (as he was famous for), your modern work environment doesn’t allow that luxury. Yet, the fact remains that nearly half of all Americans are uncomfortable with these public speaking requirements.

    The good news is that with a few simple steps you can be on the road to feeling more comfortable when you are speaking publicly. You will be able to speak without fear. And you’ll be able to speak effectively.

    This is NOT a textbook or workbook for someone who wants to become a professional speaker. It’s a simple-to-read and simple-to-act-on guide for the person who finds themself in positions where they need to speak and succeed in front of any crowd!

      Moving Ahead To Effective Public Speaking

      Like It Or Not, It’s Time To Speak

      Put simply, public speaking is a skill that every person needs to practice. While you may never be called upon to be a professional Tony Robbins, encouraging the masses towards higher reaches of success, you are likely to be asked to speak in a team meeting at work, a little league practice, a presentation at school or to make some other type of public presentation not just once but many times throughout your long and busy life. For happy occasions and sad, celebrations and work, school and play, you will be called on to speak in front of small groups, large groups, and groups of every size in between.

      The need to speak in front of an audience will present itself at various times in your life. In your personal life there will be a time when someone close to you passes away and you will want to speak at his or her memorial. You will talk about how important they were honoring their life and their impact on others; and you will need to do this at a podium, in front of other mourners. There may also come a time when you feel passionately about a topic, whether it is the curriculum at your child’s school or a new speed bump that you think the city should install on your block; you will want to present your thoughts logically, with your emotions in control, in front of the group responsible for making decisions on this matter. You may need to excel in a group interview, lead a team at school or work, speak at an awards ceremony – the list goes on and on. The point is that if you spend your life avoiding speaking in public then you will miss out on, well, life. And you may miss out on success,
