The Confident Speaker
Beat Your Nerves And Communicate At Your Best In Any Situation
Dear Friends,
In our ongoing quest to help our clients from business, politics and the professions craft and deliver persuasive and impactful messages to get desired results, it's sometimes necessary to first help them get over paralyzing feelings of anxiety and the fear of speaking and presenting to an audience.
For many otherwise capable, smart and accomplished professionals, the following sentiment is not unusual:
I'd rather die than
have to speak in public.
We're sure you've heard that statement before. Maybe even in promotions for other books on speaking. But it's worth repeating here.
Why?
Because, as we're about to show you, in our new book-called The Confident Speaker-we've uncovered an entirely different approach to understanding the secrets to remarkable public speaking.
An approach based on...
...hard scientific evidence on
the psychology of confidence.
We knew had hit on something significant when we wrote it. But it's not just us-many of today's top experts agree that this is breakthrough work too:
Brian Tracy - Author - The Psychology of Selling
"Eureka! This book is exactly what every beginning speaker needs, and every advanced speaker will want because it is packed with simple, enjoyable, workable ways to overcome speaking fear and project a strong persona to every audience member. Bravo!
Dottie Walters CSP, Author of best-selling book Speak and Grow Rich
We've researched why people fear speaking more than death-and how they can change their psychological and physiological state, over and over again, to become highly effective and confident speakers.
We wrote The Confident Speaker to help everyday people work within their strengths to become expressions of extraordinary confidence.
And we know it will dramatically improve the careers-and lives-of those who apply its advice. World-renowned psychologist Kevin Hogan agrees (quite emphatically, we might add):
Kevin Hogan, Psy.D, Author of Science of Influence, and The Psychology of Persuasion
Like Kevin, we know that becoming a confident speaker is possible. And this books provides a reliable pathway.
In other words, we're convinced that you, whoever you are, can dramatically improve your ability to communicate, to engage, to persuade.
In fact, when you get and read The Confident Speaker, you'll learn answers to burning questions, like:
- What are the 10 most commonly feared speaking situations, and how can you handle them with ease and confidence?
- What should you do and not do before a presentation?
- How can you create the mindset and beliefs that translate to self-assured speaking?
- What are the differences between men and women when it comes to public speaking-and what are the specific tips for each gender?
- How can you speak with confidence in social situations and informal settings?
- How can you recover from a major speaking blunder?
- What are the top steps for speaking like a pro in front of large audiences?
And most importantly, you'll see that achieving your speaking goals really is possible. We know The Confident Speaker will make a profound difference in your life.
We know you'll learn new facts about human behavior that offer eye-opening insights into life-and your own potential.
We know you'll develop a stronger belief in yourself-as a speaker, a professional, a human being.
And most importantly, we know you'll find a lifetime's worth of value-a wealth of research, practical steps, and inspiring stories that you can revisit, again and again, to...
...constantly develop your
own communication skills.
The only question is: will you commit to yourself the time and energy it takes to become a confident speaker?
Take an important step to becoming the speaker you've always wanted to be-- get The Confident Speaker now.
To your potential,
