Speaking As A Professional: Enhance Your Therapy Or Coaching Practice Through Presentations, Workshops, And Seminars isn't just another public speaker's guide: it addresses those involved on a professional level and tells how to enhance a therapy or coaching practice by giving presentations, workshops and seminars. Chapters specific to this purpose offer author/therapist/business coach Dan Grandstaff's practical tips on how to expand a coaching or therapy practice through public speaking. From locating groups which use speakers to presenting onesself as an expert, this will make an important guide for a wide range of professions who would turn expertise into a side-business.

Speaking as a Professional is a very helpful how-to book filled with practical advice, relevant worksheets, and well-explained examples that offer even the most seasoned speakers valuable ideas for enhancing their therapy or coaching practices. As a business writing coach, I appreciate the guide's clear, organized, and easy-to-read format, as well as the solid content itself. While all the chapters are helpful, I especially like the one on "Delivering an Effective Presentation," where Dan Grandstaff's tips will definitely help me take my presentations to the next level.

This book is thorough, practical, and inspirational. Although all the chapters were helpful, I found Chapter Seven to be particularly so. The tips for managing anxiety helped me to sail through a recent presentation at a professional writers' conference. In fact, I enjoyed giving the presentation so much that I signed up for an upcoming workshop on "Getting on the Lecture Circuit." Thanks to Dan's book, I now have more confidence on the floor and on my feet.

This book is written specifically for anyone who desires to be an effective seminar leader and marketer for that business. The author gives excellent information, as well as very useful forms and tools for showing up as the professional you desire to be. I recommend this book for anyone who is either starting out, or who would like to move to the next level in their business. One of the most valuable things I found was the assurance that I had the kind of answers I need when approaching a corporation to do seminar work for them.
