When most people begin learning public speaking they don't know where to start. Do they start by learning how to project their voice and how to develop a good posture? Do they start by learning how to overcome their fear of public speaking? Or do they start by learning how to write speeches?In The Three Stages to Public Speaking Mastery we take you through a step by step process. We treat learning public speaking as a journey with three key stages:The first stage is the character development stage. The public speaking journey does not begin the moment you stand on stage to deliver a speech. Nor does it begin when you start writing and practicing a speech. It begins when you make a decision to start working on your inner self. In this stage we consider: - how to develop the mindset of a public speaker - how to overcome the fear of public speaking - how to speak from the heartThe second stage is the speech preparation stage. There is a common misconception about public speaking - many people think that speeches require little preparation. The truth is, public speaking requires significant preparation and practice. No-one is born a natural speaker. In this stage we share tips on: - how to write a speech - how to make a speech easy to understand - how to practice your speechThe third stage is the speech delivery stage. This is often what many people think of when they want to learn public speaking. However, success in this stage relies upon a strong foundation - a well developed character together with a well prepared speech. In this stage we share: - how to have a captivating voice - how to have an engaging eye contact - how to use body language effectivelyWe have written this book with the following philosophy in mind: "make sure the ideas are deep yet easy to grasp."
