I probably should have read this book--I totally freeze if I have to speak in front of a group of people--even if I know them!! I do great one on one or maybe two--but a whole group and standing in front of them? Not happening--my words get garbled I can barely get a coherent sentence out--no matter how well I know the subject. I applaud those of you who can and do speak publicly!! Maybe at some point I will read this book--it can't hurt!
In the mean time I have a feeling it will help a lot of you with public speaking--so read it!!
IF PUBLIC SPEAKERS WERE SUPERHEROES, WHAT WOULD THEIR SUPERPOWERS BE?
AND, COULD YOU DEVELOP THOSE SUPERPOWERS YOURSELF?
Author Carma Spence asked these questions of dozens and dozens of speakers and discovered the answer was, "Yes!"
Three out of every four people suffer from speech anxiety, and research suggests that people who don’t confront and overcome that fear are less successful in their careers and lives. However, people often look at successful speakers as superheroes with superpowers they, as mere mortals, could never possess.
Drawing from extensive research and interviews with business and professional speakers, Public Speaking Super Powers will show you how to:
↪ How to overcome the fear of speaking
↪ Develop the skills needed to be a success on the stage, such as storytelling and humor
↪ Master techniques like a superhero speaker, such as audience engagement, and using your voice, body language and eye contact effectively
and much more... There is even a bonus chapter on the business of speaking.
Unleash your inner Public Speaking Superhero and communicate your message with confidence starting today!

Are you introverted, shy or, at times, socially awkward?
Do you find it challenging to communicate your value with confidence?
I'm Carma Spence, and I can say I've struggled with all these things myself at one time. I've lacked self-confidence. I've avoided speaking before groups. I've even kept silent about the value I have to offer the world.

It covers all the foundational skills and techniques needed to be a decent public speaker and provides a path for improving communication and speaking skills over time.

Public Speaking, it may help to speak in front of a large crowd.
I speak in front of a crowd once a year for a church activity. I'd love any tips on how not to be nervous!
