Most people already have the groundwork to be a great public speaker. "From Fear to Success" maneuvers past your trepidations into a new world of self-assurance to build upon this foundation.

Having these straightforward steps that, when seen in this book, appear within reach to nearly anyone; knowing that these tools and this advice are essentially all you need to know to start building your own presentation skills and public persona, is a huge confidence booster. What separates this book from other similar books I've read is the down to earth stories the author tells about his journey; how relatable it is to regular people. We don't see him as some grand politician or public figure, rather as a regular guy. The reader can picture him living his normal life while also building amazing success on this journey. Disarming the reader with this approach makes it so much easier to imagine doing the same thing yourself, and effectively eliminates any excuses not to give it a shot. To be sure, as I continue my own journey to improve my public speaking skills and outward persona, I will be keeping this book close by. 1 like
