I just zoomed through Scott Berkun’s book, “Confessions of a Public Speaker”, which was recommended to me by my friend Don Demsak.  I can’t recommend this book enough to those of you who like me are already public speakers, as well as to those of you who want to break into speaking.  Scott delivers his point in an extremely entertaining way while actually sticking to it; which is exactly what the book preaches to do when speaking.  The book is written in a first-person form and like the author, I agree this is a great way of keeping a reader engaged.  I found it gratifying that a lot of points he recommends in his book are techniques I use today, but more importantly I found so many where I plan to improve that I’m actually excited about my upcoming Tech-Ed presentation and already have ideas for bettering my delivery using stuff I learned here.

The book is a quick read, not only because it’s only a couple of hundred pages but because I found it so entertaining and interesting, it was hard to put down.  Check this one out cause you won’t regret it.

Until next time…
