Great guide to public speaking

I found this book to be a great, easy to read, practical guide to public speaking.
From exercises prior to the speech, how to reduce anxiety on the day and simple ways to create an engaging, authentic and interesting speech, this was a practical guide which I found very useful. Towards the end of the book there are checklists for before, during and after the speech which left me with great simple, easy to implement takeouts. It also provides a pathway for continuous learning and improvement.
To all those not confident standing in front of a crowd and giving speeches, I recommend this book.

Prescriptive, comprehensive and relatable.

When I reflect about my concerns about public speaking, a big fear I have had is about remembering all the key points.
Then I read the chapter about “finding your voice”. This is about your unique communication style.
For me, its stories. Once I start telling a story, I can easily remember all the details.
So when I reflect on this book, my key learning is to think about what stories I can weave together for a presentation - I know that style works for me.
When I think back to corporate presentations, quite often, even with a large audience, I would know many of the people there and so that would make me feel relaxed.
I knew what content would resonate with them. I felt like I was talking with friends (many were).
So another great tip is to research your audience, what do they like? If you can spend time getting to know some of the audience before you present, that will certainly help break the ice.
I would definitely recommend this book to those who want to improve their public speaking.
