    About this ebook

    Every speaker would like to become a better speaker. After each speech that we give, we all think to ourselves about the things that we could have done differently that would have gotten a better reaction from our audience. The trick is that we have to remember the changes that we need to make and then we need to make them. That's what this book is all about – helping you to remember how you can become a better public speaker.

    What You'll Find Inside:
    * BOUNCING BACK FROM A REALLY BAD SPEECH
    * LEARN TO READ YOUR NEXT AUDIENCE LIKE A BOOK
    * HOW TO DEAL WITH SPEAKING ANXIETY WHEN IT COMES
    * WHAT YOU’VE NEVER BEEN TAUGHT ABOUT BEING A SUCCESSFUL SPEAKER

    As speakers we need to keep in mind that we won't always be the one doing the speaking. However, this just requires us to do things a little bit differently. If when we speak we have an accent that is different than that of our audience, we need to take steps to minimize it. Change is the first thing on our minds when we give a speech that turns out badly. The key is knowing what needs to be changed so that won't happen again.

    In order to give a good speech, you need to know your audience. You have to be about to understand what they want to get out of your speech. This can cause a speaker to start to feel anxious and when that happens we need to have ways to deal with it. When we finally make it to the end of our speech we might think that we are done with our talk. It turns out that that is not the case – things may be just starting for us.

    Every time that we give a speech we all share the same goal. We want our speech to be unforgettable for our audience. This can be done and in fact, if we can find out how to become an online leader, then we may have prepared our audience for a great speech even before we take the stage. Use this book to learn how to grow your speaking abilities and you'll discover that you have become a better speaker.

      About The Author

      I must confess that I never set out to be a public speaker. When I went to school, I studied Computer Science and thought that I'd get a nice job programming and that would be that. Well, at least part of that plan worked out!

      My first job was working for Boeing on their F/A-18 fighter jet program. I spent my days programming fighter jet software in assembly language and I loved it. The U.S. government decided to save some money and went looking for other countries to sell this plane to. This put me into an unfamiliar role: I started to meet with foreign military officials and I ended up having to give speeches in order to explain what my product did.

      Time moved on and so did I. I found myself working for Siemens, the big German telecommunications company. They were making phone switches and selling them to the seven U.S. phone companies. The problem was that the switches were too complicated. Customers couldn't tell the difference between one complicated phone switch from another complicated phone switch. Once again I found myself standing in front of the room giving speeches in order to explain what these complicated machines did and why ours were better than anyone
