Just published, Straight Talk for the New Public Speaker 2nd Edition

I'm really excited to announce that "Straight Talk for the New Public Speaker 2nd Edition" has been completed and will be published and made available on Amazon.com. "Straight Talk for the New Public Speaker 2nd Edition"takes a straight line focused approach to becoming an effective public speaker and how to effectively market your new career. What is meant by Straight Talk? Straight talk is just that, straight talk . No hearts and flowers, straight to the point, no holding hands singing Kumbaya.

The 2nd Edition is a face lift of the first edition and I have added two new chapters based on reader comments and conversations with clients with regard to the publishing of the 1st issue of “Straight Talk for the New Public Speaker.”

As stated in Chapter 5 of the first edition, a good public speaker must stay current with their material. So, I guess it also should be stated, so should the author.

I also fielded many comments that stated “Why should I buy your book as I don’t want a public speaking career?” There is a very simple answer to this question. The better your communication skills are the more perceived value you can establish for yourself. Public speaking is not only for the stage but for your everyday life both professional and socially. All the information in this book can and should be applied to your professional career regardless of what it is.

I added additional information to Chapter 12, Marketing. A complete new section on perceived value has been written for the new speaker being the competition is so big I thought this would help in the marketing of your new career. I have added a new chapter addressing the public speaker and the internet. The various ways you can present your presentations via the internet.

The second new chapter addresses a very important part of your public speaking career which is “Aftermarket”. Its main focus is to show you how to you can establish passive income with your speaking career. This was only touched on a little as part of Chapter 11, Marketing. But this part is so important in the establishment of passive income it should be embellished upon.

Straight Talk for the New Public Speaker 2nd Edition is broken down now into fourteen (14) exciting chapters such as, Finding your Niche, Conquer your Fear, Sharpshooters and Hecklers and Humor to mention a few. The 2nd Edition adds two (2) new chapters, “Public Speaking and the Internet” and “The Aftermarket of Public Speaking”. Learn how to structure and effective speech or how to read your audience and the all important, how to handle sharpshooters and hecklers. Upon completion of this book you will have the basic knowledge on how to become an effective public speaker and information on how you can market your new public speaking career.
