Résumé

"Some of the advice will surprise you, but all of it will challenge even the most confident orators to rethink how they communicate and, ultimately, to do even better."
Kim Campbell, former Prime Minister of Canada

There are several universal truths about public speaking. Most people hate doing it, and most don't do it well. And not surprisingly, most audiences retain just a fraction of a typical speech's content. So why do we give speeches at all? We give them, says communications expert Nick Morgan, because they remain the most powerful way to connect with audiences.

Through insightful examples, Morgan illustrates a practical, three-part process-focusing on content development, rehearsal, and delivery- geared toward engaging an audience on every level: emotional, intellectual, and physical. Whether speaking to a handful of employees or a keynote audience, anyone can use these principles to give speeches that challenge minds, impassion hearts, and empower audiences to change the world, one idea at a time.
