5.0 out of 5 stars Four top speakers give advice that can help virtually any speaker, October 10, 2007

I was so interested in the title of a CD program, PUBLIC
SPEAKING SUCCESS, that I made it a point to both get and
listen to it as quickly as I could.

The fact that it featured four top speakers was an added
attraction . . . Nido Qubein, Ron White, Brian Tracy, and
Chris Widener, each had much to say about their
respective topics, and their comments would be of value
to virtually any speaker:

Qubein in "How to Communicate Like a Pro" noted:
* Communication doesn't take place until you have the complete
attention of your audience.

* The first thing I do is get an audience into the act.

* Always find out what turns on your audience and let your dialogue
focus on that interest.

* Ask questions to involve the listener.

White in "Speeches from Memory" commented:
* I use the entire stage as my podium. This adds energy to my
presentation.

* When you can give a speech without notes, your credibility is
going to go up.

Tracy (rapidly becoming one of my favorites) in "Communication--The
Master Skill to Powerful Relationships" said:
* When you have small children, you speak to them at their level.

* The more the person is talking about themselves, the more
they'll like you.

* Treat the members of your family like you treat your best customers.

* Men are 95% more likely to interrupt a woman than a woman is
to interrupt a man.

* If you can paraphrase what the person said, that's real listening.

Lastly, Widener in "Communication Skills to Influence and Persuade"
observed:

* When you master your skills, you're going to have better relationships.

* The problem with being a good speaker is that you still need
to get better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Variety of Speakers, January 1, 2011

I like the technique to listen to CD's and learn while driving. It helps to use time that would otherwise be wasted. The variety of speakers gives the listener a good variety of ideas. Depending on what you're looking for, there is something for everyone. I didn't use all the ideas, but it opened me up to Brian Tracy, who is one of my favorite motivational speakers.

I listen to a lot of CDs for motivation and to enhance my learning. This CD was definitely below standard. I listened to the first half an hour which was a very boring promotional for the set--I kept thinking, I already BOUGHT it, you don't have to convince me this is a great product, you already have my money! I stuck it out for another 15 minutes after that and gave up. I don't know if I am even going to bother finish listening to it.
