Speaking with Confidence

Does the thought of delivering a presentation make your heart skip a beat? Do your pitches fall flat no matter how much preparation you put in? Are you often comparing yourself to more eloquent speakers and wondering how they capture the room?

At some point in our careers we will need to speak in front of an audience; whether to present our ideas to a group of five in a meeting, pitch for investment in front of a panel or deliver a keynote speech to one thousand delegates. Yet glossophobia, or the fear of public speaking, is incredibly common and can inhibit our chances of career progression by up to 15%.

In Speaking with Confidence, Expert and managing director of Speakers' Corner Nick Gold, shows how anyone can learn to be a confident public speaker and use their surroundings to give them the support and structure they need to achieve maximum impact and success from their speech. His decades of experience coaching and producing some of the best speakers in the country have been condensed here into one expert guide to help you connect with your audience every time.

Reviews

Extraordinary. This book will inspire you to reach your full potential

—— Jason Fox

A genuinely game changing book! Commando Mindset holds you to account passing responsibility back to you in the most empowering way

—— Layla Anna-Lee, presenter

Redefine what impossible means

—— Daily Mail

A great book

—— The Sun

If there is a blunter, more opinionated, faster-talking expert on the internet than Scott Galloway, I haven't come across him. Or her.

—— Fortune

Impact is a new and very important idea to reshape and save our economic system.

—— Paul Romer, Nobel Prize in Economics, 2018

The book is timely, visionary, bold...and thoroughly persuasive.

—— Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

This is not only a masterpiece but an historically important book-a powerful intervention in our thinking on harnessing financial resources for the good. It intervenes with profoundly compassionate imagination, and genius, where neither governments nor private philanthropy have prevailed. Each paragraph, each page, brim over with visionary scope and micro-textured examples of exactly what Sir Ronald has been so brilliantly engineering, and the many sectors in which the " Impact Revolution" is so well instantiated and advancing. Written with great lucidity and persuasive power, Impact is the most genuinely hopeful and important work I've read in this arena in decades.

‘The Netflix Culture Deck may well be the most important document ever to come out of the Valley’

—— Sheryl Sandberg

‘Netflix has emerged as one of the juggernauts of the entertainment industry in a very short period... It has a place at the elite table beside Facebook, Amazon and Google’

—— Financial Times

‘No matter what happens as television evolves, Netflix will be one of the winners… Reed Hastings has created a culture of excellence, where civil disagreement is encouraged. He may be the smartest CEO I’ve ever met’

—— Joe Nocera, Bloomberg

‘It’s an entire parallel TV universe, and it’s still expanding. Netflix is breathtakingly broad and microscopically niche at the same time’

—— New York Times

‘The standout success this year has been Netflix. Its market value has more than doubled to $172bn – making it bigger than Disney. And it is the only giant tech force which can still be described as a disruptor, rather than a fully established business’

—— Guardian

‘Netflix is famous for its unique culture. Reed Hastings has already taken on Hollywood — the most powerful companies in Silicon Valley are next’

—— Wired
