weLEAD book Review by the Editor of leadingtoday.org
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.
