You'll laugh out loud or at a minimum smile at the situations Joey uses to teach you how to be a better speaker. And teach he does. It's the single most readable book on the subject I've ever bought. And I've read dozens. It's a winner!

Joey Asher not only knows about public speaking, he knows how to write. Even a Geek Can Speak is funny and to the point -- it would be impossible to read this and not improve as a speaker. Even people who rarely stand up in front of a crowd will find it insightful and enjoyable.

I have to make a lot of presentations for my new job. This book has helped me to be more confident and prepared for my presentations no matter how tough the audience. I never really thought I was a geek, but I think I used to sound like one. This book is very practical.

This is a phenomenal book - not to mention the only real resource out there that focuses on presentation skills for technical professionals. While the book focuses on all technical trades, I recommend it to people continually in my classes on Communication Skills for Technology Professionals through SYSEDCO. If you want to - or have to - give a presentation that non-technical people will understand, this book is a must have.

This book has no pretension, and is written from the point of view of a funny friend trying to talk you over your public speaking jitters. With expert advice that has really made me feel at home pitching an idea in front of a group of high power executives, it is as effective as it is accessible. A fantastic purchase for anyone who has a more effective speaker inside them looking to get out.
