Acerca de esta escucha
Former comedy club host, online philosophy professor, and keynote speaker Dr. Matt Deaton covers everything from preparation to posture, microphones to mindset, hand gestures to hecklers in the second edition of his ambitiously titled The Best Public Speaking Book. And he does it with such endearing levity that you forget you're learning to do something scarier than dying (at least according to Seinfeld). The core of his approach is his Three Commandments:
I. Know Thy Material
II. Be Thyself
III. Practice.
Study your subject, polish your authentic stage self, and intelligently rehearse, and you're more than halfway there. To get the rest of the way, there's:
- The Urban Honey Badger (honored on the book's cover), an unconventional assertiveness drill designed to vanquish nervousness and build a confident (and slightly edgy) stage presence
- How to develop a message that's easy for you to deliver and for your audience to absorb (when points logically flow, everyone wins)
- How to tailor your silent message to win your audience respect and attention
- The modern essentials: how to effectively use PowerPoint (hint: visuals > text), present to a remote audience (assume they're watching Netflix... on the potty), and select a quality clicker (hint: range > lasers)
- All the classic essentials, too: enunciation ("rubber baby buggy bumpers"), voice projection, eye contact (for audience members without face tattoos, anyway), when (and when not) to use a lectern, and why reading a script is the lowest form of public speaking (good news: follow Deaton's Three Commandments and you won't need a script)
Add a humble professor's touch, a dash of coaching, encouragement, and inspiration (something Deaton admits needing lots of when he began), and you've got one heck of an engaging and effective book. Read the reviews. Listen to the sample. Hear for yourself why this second edition of Deaton's inviting how-to just might be the best public speaking book.

Every day there are moments when you must persuade, inform, and motivate others effectively. Each of those moments requires you, in some way, to play a role, to heighten the impact of your words, and to manage your emotions and nerves. Every interaction is a performance, whether you're speaking up in a meeting, pitching a client, or walking into a job interview.

Public speaking can be terrifying. For David Nihill, the idea of standing in front of an audience was scarier than cliff jumping into a thorny pit of spiders and mothers-in-law. Without a parachute or advanced weaponry. Something had to change.
In what doesn't sound like the best plan ever, David decided to overcome his fears by pretending to be a comedian called "Irish Dave" for one full year, crashing as many comedy clubs, festivals, and shows as possible.

Why do some people seem so friendly despite being total strangers? Every year companies and firms spend millions of dollars a year trying to answer these questions.

In Joel's Schwartzberg's 10-plus years as a strategic communications trainer, the biggest obstacle he's come across - one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, and epic fail - is that most speakers and writers don't have a point. They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less. This book shows you how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it and how to train others to identify and successfully make their own points.

Experience the book that started the Quiet Movement and revolutionized how the world sees introverts - and how introverts see themselves - by offering validation, inclusion, and inspiration. At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts - Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak - that we owe many of the great contributions to society.

Every day at work, people do three things: talk, listen, and pretend to listen. That's not surprising when you consider that the average attention span has dropped to 8 seconds. To break through, says high-stakes communications expert Paul Hellman, you need to focus on your audience, be slightly different, and deliver with finesse.

For two decades, pastor and leadership consultant Matt Keller has worked with hundreds of influencers, and he has learned that the greatest enhancer or greatest limiter to a person's success is whether someone is teachable. In The Key to Everything, Keller shows how teachability isn't something that some people are born with and others aren't. It is a characteristic that can be learned and grown.

The law of attraction tells us that whatever we focus our attention on, consciously or not, we attract into our lives. Think happy thoughts, enjoy happy experiences. And vice versa. The best-selling Begin with Yes introduces the law of action, a principle that reverses the order - and is equally powerful: What we do affects how we think and the kinds of experiences we have. When we take small, manageable steps, we feel more positive, and our lives flow more smoothly. Begin with Yes is all about setting things in motion and opening new doors. Getting unstuck.
