Break free from traditional and rigid public speaking guidelines and bring your true self to the stage!

Break free from traditional and rigid public speaking guidelines and bring your true self to the stage!

Public speaking shouldn't be about striving for perfection. Many people fear presenting because they feel trapped by outdated rules that sap the life from their performance and bore their audience. In this book, you will discover how to truly captivate people with your authenticity and passion-instead of another polished and robotic delivery.

In her book, author Karen Hough debunks over a dozen common myths that make presenting unnecessarily stressful. You'll learn-

Why practicing in front of a mirror can actually make you worse Why you should never end a presentation with questions How breaking a few rules can make your presentations more fun and engaging

With real-life examples of people who became confident speakers by embracing their flaws, Hough shows how being a little ""imperfect"" can help you become a more dynamic presenter. By following her witty and insightful advice, you'll discover a speaking style that's full of personality, energy, and human warmth-making your enthusiasm truly infectious.
