Synopsis

Public Speaking: The Path to Success explores the techniques that powerful public speakers use to design and deliver speeches that captivate their audience members. The book takes students on a personal journey of discovery that makes them think about their default public speaking behaviors and challenges them to improve their public speaking skills. It doesn't simply repackage old ideas: it introduces students to a unique set of insights and techniques that they can use right away to become more effective public speakers.

While most public speaking books discuss preparation fundamentals and basic speaking techniques, Public Speaking: The Path to Success guides students through an exciting array of advanced construction and delivery concepts and illustrates how these concepts are used in practice. It is a must-read for students who want to speak powerfully from the podium and motivate their audience members to act.
