Publisher's summary

Are you an author or creative preparing for success? Do you want to learn to speak effectively in front of an audience?

All successful creatives have to speak and present in public, whether that's at a festival, on a podcast or radio show, or as part of earning multiple streams of income. But you don’t have to be like Tony Robbins, bouncing around on stage with a booming voice and larger than life personality. You just have to be you and tell your story in your own way.

In this book, I'll share everything I know as a professional speaker, author, and introvert. It includes the practicalities of speaking, as well as mindset issues like anxiety, plus the business side if you want to make speaking an income stream. You will discover:

  • Part 1: Practicalities of Speaking

Types of speaking, deciding on your topic, preparation, managing your energy, tips for slide packs, handouts, workbooks and more, personal presentation, giving the talk, managing people, panels, feedback and testimonials, performance tips, improving your speaking over time

  • Part 2: Mindset

Tackling anxiety, growing your confidence and authenticity

  • Part 3: The Speaking Business

How to get speaking events, running your own events, marketing, generosity and networking with others, your speaker brand, website and speaker's page, professional photos, email marketing, content marketing, social media, video, audio, how much to charge, increasing your revenue streams, financial considerations.

  • Conclusion and Next Steps

If you want to learn how to speak effectively in front of an audience, sample or buy now.

Fantastic, as always

As always, Joanna Penn provides a wealth of information on a topic I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about.

Turns out I didn't know half what I thought I did, and now I have a whole new world to investigate.

In this concise guide, Joanna lays out virtually everything you need to get started in the world of public speaking, even if the thought of doing so utterly terrifies you.

Inspired to speak someday!

I love Joanna Penn’s real-life examples and strategic and actionable advice, especially to authors and introverts.

She makes it seem doable and I also don’t feel I have to do dozens of events per year to make it worthwhile (since I’m hoping for 4-8 per year at most).
