How to hook your audience into your speech within the first 30 seconds.


Learn how to avoid the most common mistakes most speakers make when opening their speech. If you avoid these mistakes, you will be better than 90% of speakers. Not only will you learn what not to do, you will also learn proven tools on how to open with speech with power and impact.

How to close your presentation with power and passion


Learn how to end in a memorable manner. End with a bang, not a whimper.

But did the author do anything besides have his friends and colleagues write this book for him. Being an author I understand how difficult it is to write books, but it should have been more clear what it was from the start.
