The end of Public Speaking as we know it This revolutionary method shows you how to think clearly, manage anxiety and speak persuasively. It helps you bring your ideas to life with:

• A simpler way to control nerves.


• A simpler way to structure your ideas.


• A simpler way to engage your audience with natural delivery skills.

Remove the obstacles to success and become a relaxed, credible and persuasive speaker.

The key measure of success for a business presentation is not your style. It's not your pretty slides. It's not whether you say 'um'. And it's not the colour of your tie. It's the clarity and recall of your message.

There are 3 things that make a great speech:

1. Message


2. Structure


3. Connection with the audience

This book shows you how to master all three, and dissolve your public speaking anxiety - effortlessly.
