Public Speaking eBook

Contrary to what a lot of people seem to think, public speaking skills are not something we are - or should have been - born with. We may have more or less aptitude for speaking in public, as we may have for sport, music or anything else, but in the end success at public speaking is the result of learning and perfecting the required techniques. Anyone and everyone can be good at public speaking; it's simply a question of learning how it's done.

So tell us how it's done

That's what the ebook does. It's a hands-on guide to the skills and secrets of successful public speaking.

In my ebook Loving the Limelight, you'll find everything you need to know to become an effective, confident public speaker.

It begins with how to prepare yourself psychologically, including dealing with the issues that may be causing you to be afraid of public speaking.

It goes on to give solid, practical advice about how to compose and structure a memorable talk, how to deliver it strongly and create a rapport with the audience, and how to cope with any difficulties on the day.

The techniques you need to learn are explained clearly, so it's a straightforward process to put the theory into practice.

As I see it, there are five steps to successful public speaking, taking you from nervous novice to accomplished speaker. We all have different starting points and different baggage to carry, and some steps will be steeper than others. But all the information you need to succeed is in this ebook.

Five steps to successful public speaking

The ebook takes you through the five steps to success:

Step One - Lose your fear
Break down any psychological barriers and learn to access positive energy on demand.

Step Two - Prepare your talk
Find your voice, write and structure your talk for maximum impact, prepare to meet (or even exceed) the audience's expectations of you.

Step Three - Practise your talk
Learn the techniques of effective public speaking and how to rehearse for easy success.

Step Four - Tune into success
Summon your confidence just before you speak, get into character, take a deep breath and...

Step Five - Deliver your talk
Speak with authority and impact, establish a good relationship with your audience, handle any problems with admirable cool. Enjoy speaking and end feeling pleased with yourself.

Each step is laid out in a clear and accessible way, with examples and exercises to help you focus what you're learning and make it work for you. Master the skills and a couple of psychological tricks and you'll protect yourself against failure and embarrassment in public speaking for the rest of your life.

Reviews of the ebook

“When a client asked me last year if I’d give an after-dinner speech to 250 accountants, I didn’t hesitate to say yes. I had always thought I was quite good at public speaking and, although this was a larger audience than I’d spoken to before, the event was months away and I was sure I could do it.

Suddenly, this speech was in a fortnight’s time and, having ignored it for so long, I began to wonder if I’d bitten off more than I could chew. I didn’t exactly panic but I did look around for some support. A friend put me onto the Public Speaking Skills website and the ebook Loving the Limelight, and I’ll be forever in his debt.

For a start, the ebook made me understand why I had put off preparing for this speech until the stress had really built up. I won’t be making that mistake again!

Beyond that, it helped me to organise my thoughts and plan what I was going to say. It also gave me a lot of useful tips and ideas and prompted me to look at things from a slightly different angle. I’m by no means new to public speaking but I picked up some finesse from this ebook.

Except for the illuminating part about procrastination, I skimmed the first chapter because I’m not really scared of public speaking, I just wanted some advice and reassurance about taking it up a gear. I got what I wanted from this ebook and, I’m relieved to say, the speech went rather well. Actually, it went very well. I enjoyed doing it, the audience reacted favourably and my client said he was impressed. I think that counts as success!

Loving the Limelight is easy to read, interesting and based on sound experience. I recommend it wholeheartedly.”
