fabulous book

Abook that is to the point but highly actionable when it comes to improving your speeches.

This is not for the extreme beginner, but definitely for the person who has done about a years worth of speaking and looking to go to the next level!

The book breaks down Simon's famous Ted talk with examples from the talk, and the techniques and why he was using that specific technique at that specific point in his talk.

The book then describes how to use the techniques in your own speeches!!!
