Great advice
This is a great audiobook about public speaking. The start of the book was fascinating because it discusses the actual psychological and physical side of where the fear of public speaking comes from. I really struggle with public speaking and have all these crazy physical reactions so it was cool to hear that that is actually normal and learn ways to reframe that anxiety in a positive way. There is a section on speaking to a diverse audience and some of the things to keep in mind like researching cultures and being sensitive. I found that very informative. Another helpful tip is to find your “special sauce” or in other words, what makes you unique or standout. Once you figure that out and weave it into your speeches… you become more dynamic and engaging. I thought that was pretty helpful too. So anyways those are just a couple examples of the very helpful tools you will learn by listening to this book to help you become a good public speaker and overcome and deal with your public speaking fears.
