I grew up with a speech impediment and crippling insecurity. I remember when I wouldn''t speak up even though I knew the right answer. I remember when I lacked the confidence to make myself heard. I remember when, the moment I spoke, people could instantly read the message of my nonverbal signals: "This guy doesn''t trust himself." How to Speak with Confidence reveals how I left the self-doubt behind. Here''s why you can trust me... I wrote eleven best-selling books on the art of effective communication. I applied these seven strategies close to 300 times in speeches, presentations, and debates. I coached hundreds of mentees in these strategies and saw an instant improvement in their confidence.
