Public Speaking is one of the most lucrative careers out there. The opportunity cost for not confronting your fear of public speaking is too great to be ignored. Fortunately, my good friends Eric Feng and Andrew Zhan have put on their thinking caps, superhero capes and ultra red underwear to help you alleviate your fears and become a successful public speaker. Having known Eric for close to 5 years now, it s not surprising to see the same brand of humor injected into the book as when I hear him speak live in front of hundreds of people.
The FAQ Book on Public Speaking is actually
jam-packed with lots of thought-provoking anecdotes and serious practical advice to help you along the journey towards becoming a popular and respected public speaker. --Yee Shun Jian, Personal Development Enthusiast
While reading through The FAQ Book on Public Speaking, what really amazed me was Eric's sincerity in answering the questions. The answers were not just answers but also an elaboration of tips, strategies and advice to help the reader be a better speaker.
Eric did not answer them solely based on his instincts. He took the extra effort to add in concrete references from books and examples to make everything more understandable.
On top of that,
his generosity in sharing his experiences, his mistakes, his learnings make this book more personable. The book become one that is NOT just based on cold, hard, dry techniques. He must have done a lot of research and homework before presenting those answers to his readers. Kudos to Eric!
Inviting other authors to contribute to the answers also allow the readers to observe the different views presented by different authors for each question. In this way, the reader can gain more insights to the different answers presented.
Indeed, a book worth investing in! --Doris Ng, President of NUS Alumni Toastmasters, Singapore
