Short version!
I like reading good books. This is one of those good books!
Why did I choose this book?
Public speaking is something I do every day. It’s part of my Job. It’s part of my daily life. So I had figured I’ll keep working on improving this skill. As a part of that, I decided to read “Confessions of a Public Speaker” by Scott Berkun
What did I like about it? Four things:
“There are two types of speakers: those that are nervous and those that are liars.”
– Real Life Examples. Lot’s of it!
– Actionable Insights & Tips (like how to work a tough room, keep Practicing, how to gather feedback, how to get audience’s attention etc!)
– It’s an easy quick simple read!
– Funny!
Bottom-line:
if you think you public speaking is something you want to improve upon, I highly recommend this book!
