Author:Dale Carnegie
Good public speakers are made, not born - or so thinks Dale Carnegie, the pioneer of personal business skills. Yet business, social and personal satisfaction depend heavily upon a person's ability to communicate clearly. Public speaking is an important skill which anyone can acquire and develop. It is also the very best method of overcoming self-consciousness and building confidence, courage and enthusiasm. This classic, well established title has been called 'the most brilliant book of its kind'. It takes you step by step through:
-Acquiring basic public speaking skills
-Building confidence
-Speaking effectively the quick and easy way
-Earning the right to talk
-Vitalising your talk
-Sharing the talk with the audience as well as organisation and presentation skills

—— Aberdeen Press and JournalA fresh and invigorating overview of a fascinating subject

—— The New York TimesAttuned to pop culture as well as to scholarship, Abley proves a deft social anthropologist
