Publisher's Note

V&S Publishers has acquired the status of being a grooming studio for learning practical application of personality development, health issues, applied psychology, public speaking and so on.

This book on effective public speaking originates from the stagefrightening questions:

1. How do you make a good speech?

2. How do you deliver a good presentation?

3. How can you become confident during the speech?

4. How do you give a speech?

This book tells you that effective, confident public speaking should look effortless. In reality most people need considerable time and practice before they can talk confidently in front of an audience. You can use a number of techniques to overcome stage fright, present yourself confidently and keep your audience engaged. Remember, the audience is on your side. People want you to succeed; they don’t want to waste their time listening to a boring presentation. You are in a position of power: you have the knowledge that everyone wants to acquire.

The author stresses that you should make every effort to: 

1. Avoid signs of nerves during your speech like fidgeting, pacing, hand shaking

2. Develop good body language

3. Gesticulate for success

Best ofluck in all your public speaking endeavours!
