CHUCS HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK

Gone are the days when you say, Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door... The world has left many people with such ideologies behind. Innovation is no longer enough. You must GO TO TOWN with YOUR OWN STORY about you, your products and your organization. Even introverts must find a way to tout their own horns unless they want to quietly die in oblivion.

We live in a noisy world and every one of us is in the selling business one way or the other. Truth is, selling is speaking; even leading also has a strong element of speaking. Leaders must communicate, right? The better you are at communicating your ideas, vision and products, the more successful you will become as a leader, as a business executive and as an entrepreneur. This is why my good friend, Stephen Michael has written this book. It’s just a timely book for you.

Michael himself is an experienced and successful entrepreneur and professional speaker. This kind of masterpiece couldn’t have come out from anywhere better. While reading the book, I’m sure you will feel his energy and warmth as if he is right there with you. Throughout the book, he is conversing with you as a great speaker and a personal friend. The book is organized into eight classes, each class written with great candor and respect for the readers.

For someone new in public or professional speaking, it will take you from overcoming the fear of public speaking to honing your skills as a speaker. Skilled speakers will learn some new strategies and techniques that would help them become much better.  This book has ready applicability to business and technical presentations as well as social and political speeches. As long as your goal is to become THE SPEAKER people want to listen to, there’s no better book I could have recommended.

This book is down to earth and shoots straight without fluff. I think Michael realized that most readers are scarce on time. Once you pick up the book you are locked in on your attention until you're done reading it.

I loved the part where Michael says we should not just follow our passion but instead to follow the market from the angle of our passion. What a depth. Only experienced speakers understand how vital it is to distinguish between passion and market.

Dr. Miki (as he is fondly called) will tell you that people don't hire speakers. They hire experts to solve their problems. He will show you how to position yourself as an expert who provides value and solves problem through your speaking skills.

Again, he taught that talent and oratorical skills are not enough to be successful. The real stuff is mastering how to persuade people to buy into you and your skills. Else you can be a good speaker and still be broke, sadly. If you don't want this to happen, read this book.

Michael with finesse that he is well known for guides you on how to prepare to give your first speech excellently the first time. He has provided tips including how to research and reflect on a given topic in such a way that you become affected by your message to the point that you become enthused about it in order to exude confidence and believability when you're on your feet.

You'll discover how to find your passion and voice to deliver your speech, how to connect with your audience on stage, how to use humor and stories to make your speech fully engaging.  How about improving your performance through honest feedback?

READ this book to find out.

Most people must overcome the fear of public speaking in order to start. So Michael will show you how to overcome the fear of public speaking in 5 minutes or even less. Just like you, he had his own fears, stage fright and nervous experiences. But he overcame them and in this book he connects you with his own story of how he overcame his fears and will practically show what it takes to overcome yours.

This book will show you the top three areas people will always gladly pay for and why you must relate your speaking niche to those areas so you can position yourself to start getting paid.

He has also successfully put the recommendations in this book to work. When h was an undergraduate, he made business proposals to banks and eventually went on to become a successful paid consultant, trainer and speaker that worked with a couple of small business organizations. He tells you that all fears can be mastered through intentional preparation. If all else does not help you and fear still harasses you, what can you do? Muster the courage to just do it and damn the consequences. You won't die doing public speaking... That’s what Dr. Miki would say in his often straight up, sarcastic and humorous manner.

This book is a catalyst to facilitate you to become a really smart and successful speaker in as little as four weeks if you immediately and consistently put the tools and ideas to work. Yes there’s going to be work on your own part!

This book will remove a steep learning curve for you. Take my word for it. The book also reveals how you must build authenticity by focusing on producing results in your own life and field of work no mater how little that result might be. You will learn from this book some practical tips to compensate for any lack of experience you might have had.

Read this book and thank me when you’re through.

Yours,
