This book is not only practical, but inspiring! I started it the night before I had to drive four hours to a three day sales conference. I had to give a presentation, and I had picked my topic, but thinking about that book suddenly gave me a far better topic. Using an ‘upfront contract’ (our term for it) at the start that thanks, appreciates, says how long you’ll be, what the listeners can expect to learn and crucially, that they then will have an informed choice, they will be empowered to decide. The information in the book about the reptilian brain and limbic system needing to process the presenter first suddenly coelesced into a powerful realisation that the reason we do a verbal ‘upfront contract’ is because at the start of a speech, presentation, or even a meeting, we are addressing the reptilian brain! It’s checking us out. Concerns are modern versions of survival and threat assessment - ‘do I like this person, are they a threat, or boring, how long will this take, look at their hair, shoes etc etc’. The autonomic assessment is always the first thing to measure you, so we reassure, give it answers, get permission for the time and reassure them of their right to decide. Once you’re done, the limbic system would have done its thing too, and now they are ready to listen!I got an ovation for my newly concocted -on -the -drive presentation, by giving them an upfront contract; then explaining why, and what I had learned. Of course, I shared my source.The book was a hit for the team too!

Below is my first review. After leaving that review I went back 3 or 4 times to try and get the QR code to work. It took some doing but i finally was able to so i did receive the bonus material. Now i feel like i got what they promised and am looking forward to reading the book. I wanted to come back and re do my review as fair is fair. I have only read the first chapter so cant comment on the book yet but it looks great so far and i am happy to be able to hear the bonus material that i finally did get :).This book doesnt give you what it says it does. Starting almost on the first page it tells you to download a "special bonus audio" found in the back of the book that you should listen to every night for 30 days while you read the book. Sadly, the link in the book is no longer valid and you cant. All i was able to find were ads for the author's other books, very disappointing. It would have been nice to just read the book without all of the unavailable hype, now I feel like I am not getting the bang for my buck out of this book.

Must practice the exercises given

As one of the masses who struggles with the fear of public speaking (I've even tried hypnotherapy), I can honestly say this book is an all-encompassing tool to conquer that huge fear. Fundamentally, there are so many nuggets in this book that will help. As always it is interesting to find out what happens in the brain and why these fears are present. There are various techniques discussed which means a choice of what might work for you--there is rarely one fix that fits all; I personally will be utilizing the Swish Pattern (being creative and visual). Not only does the author address fears, he goes all-in with a ton of great advice on how to prepare, how to deliver, body language and voice projection. I also read his books on body language and how to talk to anybody and I keep them close at hand. You can tell he has a lifetime of experience. Highly recommend all three of those books.

If you want to try public speaking and presenting and either struggle with it or want to master it, this book is perfect for you.In this book, you are going to be exploring how our brains and minds work. It covers a simple process for you to learn public speaking skills. Overall, the key to becoming a confident and captivating speaker is practice.I highly recommend this book to everyone!

I am impressed! I bought this as I have read Derek's previous book about eliminating negative thinking and I liked that one. This book is even better as is relevant to me. I am a shy manager and speaking in front of a group with English as a second language is not a natural thing for me. Once again, I was impressed with how Derek explains his concepts in detailed but very understandable way. The book is more than just a collection of tips. It's very thorough and that walks you through a step-by-step approach to prepare and deliver a speech or presentation with confidence. One concept that would be stuck with me is the way I control my "state" and my "nerves". The SWISH pattern of positive thinking is worth noting. I highly recommend this book.

The concepts and techniques seem worthy, but the book is rife with errors. The lack of proofreading detracts from the credibility of the author.
