Amazon.com Review
There's nothing worse than sitting in the audience while an inept speaker stumbles through an ill-conceived business presentation-- unless, of course, you're the one floundering in the spotlight. In 101 Ways to Captivate a Business Audience, Sue Gaulke, founder of the Speaker's Training Camp, strips the mysteries from the process by showing how to prepare and present an effective address that will successfully involve your audience and deliver your message.
Book Description

Tried it out!,
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Ways to Captivate a Business Audience (Paperback)
Extremely easy to read. Easy, step-by-step approach into public speaking with very relevant topics such as its steak and sizzle technique to keep the listeners on their feet. After my speeches nowadays, people are always walking up to me afterwards complimenting me on how great the speech was, which a chunk of it is due to this book.
