What makes a speaker riveting? What makes an audience come alive? This book answers these questions by looking beyond the mechanics of speaking; by delving into the mysteries of charisma, and into the source of our own inspiration. It reveals the two most important secrets to public speaking. It reveals that how we see the world is how the world sees us. And if we wish to sparkle at the podium, we must be true to ourselves, for only then can we be true in the spotlight.

I am in the home party direct sales business and I was looking for a book that could help me with my party presentations. I love this book. It was quick and easy to read and gave me great ideas to help get my selling points across during my party presentations. It gave me the confidence to speak in front of people by teaching you basics. First, know what you are talking about. Second, love what you are talking about and third don't be afraid to say how you feel. This book can relate to anything...business relationships as well as personal relationships. This is a must have. I loved it and purchased a few as gifts for my friends. They loved it too.

This book is a little gem. It's highly practical and deeply inspiring. The author manages to demonstrate how every person can tap into his or her essential brilliance as a speaker, and she does it in a way that is both simple and profound. The book went way beyond my expectations.

More Than Words Can Say could be an apt title for this review, as the experience of reading this book is more delicious than I can accurately describe. Though I'll go ahead and try...
Though Ms. Shakin uses the art of public speaking as a lens through which to communicate her ideas, this book is not just for those interested in public speaking. This book is for anyone interested in deepening their connection to themselves and their own unique, authentic, voice.
As an actress, as a woman, as a seeker, I have found this book to be an invaluable resource. I turn to it when I need to be reminded what it means to be silent, what it means to communicate deeper truths, and what it means to be connected to myself. I treat the reading of it as a meditation on meeting myself, and it has quickly become a cherished addition to my personal library.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in looking at themselves and their personal journey in a new and unexpected way.
Thank you, Saskia!
