Product Description
Product Description
"Splashy slides, confident body language, and a lot of eye contact are fine and well. But if a speech is rambling, illogical, or just plain boring, the impact will be lost. Now everyone can learn to give powerful, on-target speeches that capture an audience's attention and drive home a message. The key is not just in the delivery techniques, but in tapping into the power of language.
Prepared by an award-winning writer, this authoritative speech-writing guide covers every essential element of a great speech, including outlining and organizing, beginning with a bang, making use of action verbs and vivid nouns, and handling questions from the audience. Plus, the book includes excerpts from some of history's most memorable speeches--eloquent words to contemplate and emulate."

Read the book, then go back and look again at yours, and others, speeches - and I can almost guarantee that you will see them in a different light.
With so much to read on the subject, make this one a priority!
This is an educational book that also inspires. I expected a reference book, but found an incredibly readable guide which i've managed on and on.
Although I'm not a speech writer, and only bought the book to help improve my public speaking ability as a training officer, shortly after purchasing it i found myself in the unusual position of having to write a speech for my partner. It proved excellent an excellent guide and i was able to use the techniques to help put together a reasonable speech.
