Speak With Confidence! is
a very helpful book with a simple premise. As Dianna Booher
clearly states in chapter 1, “Your potential to succeed in any relationship
depends on your ability to communicate – whether it is conference-room talk,
cafeteria talk or pillow talk.” This
book offers 497 proven tips for all people in a variety of situations. Applying
at least a few of these useful tips and techniques can help virtually anyone to
speak up with greater confidence! For example Tips 421-424 provide
practical information on how to handle various distractions and regain control
of interruptions.
The author begins the book by explaining
why communication is so vital, especially in our digital and technological
world. Booher rightly mentions, “Speaking well is a
measurable skill and valuable asset…”
Within chapter 1 she provides six steps to successful speaking
before a group. A multitude of beneficial tips begin in chapter 2 and continue
throughout the remaining 15 chapters. Speak With Confidence! organizes the various tips under chapter themes like
Platform Presence, Creating Your Content, Visuals That Support, Site
Preparation, Emceeing and many other headings.
This book is easy to read and the tips
are straightforward. As Booher reminds us, effective
speaking today is no longer a must…it is expected and it is a prized
skill for the successful individual! If you are looking for a way to improve
your speaking skills along with some fresh ideas, Speak
With Confidence! is just the book your looking
for.
