4.0 out of 5 stars Sensible advice for all, April 17, 2001
By 
Eric "pop culture junkie" (FERNDALE, MI, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
True to the title, Ms. Krannich outlines, in a sensible order, 101 eminently useful tidbits on public speaking. She covers everything from the speaker's posture to controlling anxiety to the actual environment of the room, giving fledgling speakers insights that might have taken years of trial and error otherwise. True, there are limitations in the user-friendly self-help style Ms. Krannich adopts. At times , things seem a little too overly simplified; at other times, she doesn't explain enough why the technique is useful. Most of the time though, she offers well reasoned common sense. Definitely useful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good advice for beginning speakers..., February 7, 2004
As part of my Lotusphere preparation, I read the book 101 Secrets Of Highly Effective Speakers by Caryl Rae Krannich. As the title indicates, it's a series of short "secrets" (tips) on how to make effective presentations. The tips are broken up into categories such as Plan To Exceed Expectation, Build Your Body - Your Speech Body, Close With Power, and Prepare Like A Pro.

This isn't a "program" to help you overcome your fear. Instead, it's more like a buffett of ideas. Most of the ideas are common sense, and will strike you as "I know that already". If you've given presentations before, or if you're an experienced presenter, you might not take much away from the book. But if you're just starting out on the speaking trail, the information in the book will help you to focus your efforts.

4.0 out of 5 stars 101 Common sense steps better suited to people just starting out, June 5, 2006
The 101 "tips" aren't really secrets, but more of common sense packaged in one place.

As a professional speaker and consultant running my own business and personal development business TheInspirationalEdge.com being just one of them, I refer to it once in a while for inspiration and confirmation that I'm doing fine.

I think it'll be particularly good for you if you're just starting out in public/professional speaking.

Hope this helps and remember to keep having fun - whatever you do.
