The ability to speak in front of an audience is life-enhancing. It creates confidence at work, play and in relationships.

This book will give you that confidence and help you to speak on special occasions, in the workplace and when you are unexpectedly asked ‘to say a few words’.

Learn to craft an attention grabbing speech, banish self-consciousness, use gestures, inject humour and finish speaking with a persuasive call to action.
