If you look at the trends of over 30 years ago in fashion, technology, architecture, and any other industry, what was cutting edge back then has become cliche and grossly out of date now. But in the speaking industry, most people get up and still walk, talk, and sound like the 1980's motivational speakers of yesteryear. The Book on Public Speaking takes a head-on approach and challenges the status quo for business leaders that speak in front of their staff, board of directors, and the public. After reading this book you will be privy to the most current methods for speaking to an audience for maximum impact in today's more sophisticated and skeptical culture. If you are the type of business leader who has achieved a level of success in life and feel compelled to share your story with the world, don't lessen that impact by imitating out-dated speaking techniques. Instead, break the mold of the speaker cliche and tap into a speaking style that is authentic, packs a punch, and leaves the audience wanting more.
