Summary

As anyone who's watched a great speaker knows, the best speeches don't sound like speeches. The best presentations don't feel like presentations. Rather, a great speaker makes listeners feel they're being addressed directly. And that is the secret to great public speaking: Make every speech or presentation as natural and direct as a one-on-one conversation.

Author Biography

Since 1988, Jeanette and Roy Henderson have used their method to train thousands of people in business and politics to be better public speakers through their company, Podium Master.
