      How To Use This Book

      I have been practicing and refining my speaking skills for more than 30 years. I joined Toastmasters in 1987 and served as International President for the organization from 2015-2016. Toastmasters International is a communication and leadership development organization that operates more than 16,000 clubs in more than 145 countries. The not-for-profit organization was established in 1924 and remains strong today. Toastmasters has played a significant role in my development as a speaker and leader.

      My desire for you, the reader, is to see the role that knowledge, practice, and feedback serve in your development as a speaker, and to use the material in this book to discover, fully understand, and effectively communicate all that you have to say.

      Acknowledgements

      There are many people to thank for helping me to put these ideas on paper.  I thank my editor, Joanne MacMillan, for her guidance and her attention to detail.  I also want to thank my
