Practical Advice, Easy-to-Follow
This book is solid. Public speaking is so intimidating, and the author does a great job empowering the reader to not be so afraid of it. Being written by a speech pathologist gives it even more credibility. The discussion on tone and inflection stuck with me the most. I know I have to get better in this area, but I didn't know where to start. Now, I can implement these easy-to-follow strategies to sound more confident in my talks in front of others. I am happy I found this book.
