This book provides a systematic training programme that will help anyone who feels afraid of speaking to an audience - at work, at meetings, or in the classroom.
The programme takes you from the nervous moments before you begin to speak, through to the time that you resume your seat. It shows you how, through mastering some simple procedures that can be practised at home, you can eliminate your fear of speaking before a group. It describes a step-by-step guide to planning and writing a clear and effective speech. And it provides advice on additional topics such as the use of visual aids and the handling of questions from the floor.
