Larina Kase via Dr. I had the pleasure of being introduced to New York Times best-selling author, Dr.
Kase's own professional polish and poise in presenting at the workshop where I heard and met her impressed me so favorably in conjunction with what she said that I was confident her books would be superb.Harrison Monarth and Larina Kase bring together their varied professional speaking backgrounds to make "The Confident Speaker" a marvelous book full of practical as well as professional philosophic advise people can use in their professional and even a bit of their personal lives.Monarth brings a corporate sales professional perspective to the book while Dr. Kevin Hogan in 2007 and knew I had to grab and digest her books on public speaking.
Dr. Their example from Billy Crystal's years on the televised Academy Awards show was excellent.
They combine excellent examples with concretely helpful exercises with complete details.This book is 309 pages long and chock full of extremely practical advise and exercises which will enable everyone speaking to become a more confident speaker.
My objective is to get my message across in any presentation and that's difficult enough whether you're afraid to speak in front of an audience or not. I enjoyed this book thoroughly even though nerves are rarely an issue for me. What I found incredibly valuable were all of the immediately applicable techniques and tools to become a more effective speaker. This book helped me understand what it takes to make my points fast and with clarity. Thanks a million.
I received the book quickly and in the condition as promised. Very good experience with this seller.
Great book. The one chapter alone on gender differences, and feminine/masculine speaking styles (men to men, men to women, women to women, women to men) makes the book worth hundreds of times the price, especially to anyone in consulting or sales. If you have ever been left shaking your head and wondering what's going on when speaking to people; after reading that chapter, the "light will go on".This is much more than merely a speaking book. It is a book on communications survival in a highly competitive world - essential for anyone who makes their living by talking to people, and most of us do.Recommended.
Parts of this book were not applicable to me personally, howerver the rest of the book was thoughtful, helpful and full of practical advice. I'm sure there is great learning in parts for everyone. Definatly worth reading.
