Fear of public speaking is the highest rated of top ten fears listed in "The Book of Lists". The fear of public speaking is even listed ahead of the fear of death! This book will help anyone who suffers even a little nervousness when faced with a public speaking situation. But it is designed to specifically assist those of you who are too terrified to overcome your fears to speak in a public situation. Webster defines white knuckle speaking, or speaker's fear as "laliophobia". I call speaker's fear the "Tiger", for it is something to be respected and feared, but with enough patience and training, it can be tamed. This book is both a "KNOW HOW", and a "CAN DO" book that addresses solid public speaking fundamentals. It contains new fear reduction and confidence building techniques for you to use to eliminate your speaker's fear. You may also use it as a reference book, to benefit from its unique and powerful speech preparation structural information, as well as its many fear reduction techniques. You have all heard the old adage that sometime you get the "Tiger", and sometimes the "Tiger" gets you. This book is about, how to get the "Tiger"!
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
Knowing how to overcome laliophobia, or speaker's fear is not typically dealt with to any great extent in books on public speaking. There is perhaps a paragraph or chapter dedicated to the subject of speaker's fear, which typically states, "Being nervous when speaking in front of a group is normal, everybody suffers from speaker's fear". But there is usually no information of significance to help you, the "WHITE KNUCKLE SPEAKER", who is terrified of public speaking.
This book is written for you, the "WHITE KNUCKLE SPEAKER". It will help you both understand and overcome speaker's fear, so that you will be able to get your "Tiger," before the "Tiger" gets you.
This book is both a “KNOW HOW”, and a “CAN DO” book that addresses solid public speaking fundamentals. It contains new fear reduction and confidence building techniques for you to use to eliminate your speaker's fear. You may also use it as a reference book, to benefit from its unique and powerful speech preparation structural information, as well as its many fear reduction techniques. The bottom line is, this book will help you overcome speaker's fear, and improve your speaking effectiveness, every time in the future that you get an opportunity to speak.
