Summary: Very helpful
Review: 10 Days to More Confident Public Speaking is enjoyable to read and an excellent reference. The author's use of personal stories and many examples of effective speeches make this book fun and easy to read. He provides specific effective speaking tips throughout the book and I felt like I was learning without trying.My favorite part of the book is the section on overcoming speaking anxiety. It described me and how I feel when I speak. This section contains lots of background information on speaking anxiety and the author's top ten tips for overcoming it. I also enjoyed reading his top ten influential and memorable speeches. The book included excerpts from each speech which provided me both a quick history lesson and a reminder of how powerful a speech can be. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in public speaking whether you are a beginner or an experienced speaker

Summary: 14 Days to audience applause
Review: 10 Days to More Confident Public Speaking is in the mold of the Ken Blanchard books. It's practical examples make it easy reading, easy to implement. The first example I can think of was the section on voice mail, not only how to record your own voice mail message - content, pace & voice, but also how to leave a message so that your call is returned. It is working for me! While getting more compliments on my limited speaking engagements is important, I am so much more at ease preparing for them. My 8 year old daughter has told me I'm not as "cranky" the day before I speak. That makes it all worth while, compliments, feeling better before and after speaking, and most important harmony in family life. I can not say this book is a panacea for all public speaking concerns, it has been a catalyst for me.

Summary: The Best Book On Public Speaking I have ever read!
Review: Lenny's book is probably one of the bext books written on this topic. Lenny's clear writing style is like being in one of Lenny's seminars. When you read this book, it is like Lenny is speaking to you during one of his seminars. He makes it very easy to understand. What a wonderful book. I can only imagine what Lenny's seminars and workshops are like. They must be outstanding! This book is a MUST for everyone's library!

Summary: AWESOME!
Review: The author has done a fine job in making the content of this book relate to both wanabe speakers and those already in the field. The three areas that I appreciated the most were: * the Internet sites given, * the Top Ten most influential and memorable speeches in history and * the Expect the Unexpected chapter. The style of writing that the author uses makes you feel that you are there with him as he explains the situation. He has truly made this a book that you can learn from and put into action. This will be a great resource for me to return to again and again. It'a great gift to give as well.
