Description

In this hilarious and highly practical book, writer and professional speaker Scott Berkun reveals the techniques in the back of what great communicators do, and shows how someone can learn how to use them well. For managers and teachers — and someone else who talks and expects somebody to listen — Confessions of a Public Speaker provides an insider’s perspective on how to effectively present ideas to someone. It is a unique, entertaining, and instructional romp through the embarrassments and triumphs Scott has experienced over 15 years of speaking to crowds of all sizes.

With lively lessons and surprising confessions, you’ll get new insights into the art of persuasion — in addition to teaching, learning, and performance — directly from a master of the trade.

Highlights include:

  • Berkun’s hard-won and simple philosophy, culled from years of lectures, teaching courses, and hours of appearances on NPR, MSNBC, and CNBC
  • Practical advice, including how to work a tough room, the science of not boring people, how to live on the attack of the butterflies, and what to do when things go wrong
  • The inside scoop on who earns $30,000 for a one-hour lecture and why
  • The worst — and funniest — disaster stories you’ve ever heard (plus countermoves you’ll use)

Filled with humorous and illuminating stories of thrilling performances and real-life disasters, Confessions of a Public Speaker is inspirational, devastatingly honest, and a blast to read.
