Better Speeches in Ten Simple Steps

Author drives home the need for preparation of script or outline. This book is not a pep talk nor does it have a motivational bent. It is well written. Did any of Ronald Reagan's speech writers not write a book. Different than most public speaking books, he leaves you to pick your own words and gestures for the most part. He focuses on being who you are and making the most of it. If you are a clear cut expert in the areas you intend to speak on this is the book for you because it is short and sweat and covers the critical basics without trying to make you over.
