Speak with No Fear
by Mike Acker
Seven strategies for public-speaking anxiety: uncover the root, imagine the worst, channel the energy, change the focus, be in the moment, speak often, be yourself. It is short, plain and aimed squarely at the nervous beginner.
Read it if…
you are terrified of presenting and want a quick practical book.
Skip it if…
you are already competent; see a craft book.
Three things you will actually use
- Fear shrinks when it is named.
- Focus on the audience, not on yourself.
- Frequency cures what technique cannot.
Do this first
Do the 'imagine the worst' exercise in writing before your next talk.
Our verdict
For the nervous beginner.
