Very inspiring stories of different people overcoming their fear of public speaking. Each chapter teaches you something.

I was unable to read this book before it archived.

There were so many great takeaways from this book that I want to share with you. I highlighted even more than this on my ebook version. In summary, if you are a female speaker, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you read this book. She has so many practical tips that you can start implementing immediately. I am excited about my next presentation to see how many of these I can implement.

I read this book with so much enthusiasm and learned important points about expressing myself and engaging an audience. She sure knows how to write and share experiences that are relatable.

Deborah is a former TV and film director who now owns "Eloqui", a company that specialises in coaching executives to improve their communication and presentation skills.

She explains how many of us have jitters about speaking publicly but if we are to become successful, we need to constantly go outside our comfort zone.

Favourite quote: "Fear is a monstrous inhibitor, whether you’re facing a steep slope or a critical presentation. It can shut you down or persuade you to avoid a new experience."

Rating: 4.5/5

Recommendation: Deborah's target audience for this book is Women who want to speak authentically and powerfully.

I particularly like how she encourages the reader to identify their communication style (Accelerator, Pragmatist, Collaborator or Analyser).
