About this listen
With a philosophy of no question is dumb or too small, this concise and to-the-point book will give you a wealth of practical tips, knowledge, and advice to start becoming a great speaker. This book contains lots of lists and clear examples that will help you learn how to address audiences of all sizes in a way that educates, entertains, and doesn’t annoy them with unwanted and unnecessary sales pitches.
Help keep any fear and anxiety under wraps by knowing exactly what to expect at every stage of the process.
Who Will Benefit: Whether you’re fresh out of school or have decades of business experience, taking to the stage for the first time can be scary and intimidating. But becoming a speaker will help you in both your personal and work life. If you’re ready to move forward in your career, get that promotion, become a more effective leader, and generate a persona that people will listen to, this book is for you. On the other hand, if you’re ready to emcee your niece’s wedding reception or host your mother’s retirement party, this book will help you take to the stage and engage your audience with confidence.
A Unique Approach: Annie Pettit PhD CAIP FCRIC has spoken at hundreds of conferences around the world to a wide range of audiences. She’s also successfully recruited and mentored speakers from marketing, brand, sales, and research industries to take the stage for the first time. Unlike most books that delve into abstract, theoretical suppositions, this book directly answers the specific questions and concerns those new speakers have shared. To the point and immediately actionable. You’ve got questions? These are the answers.
