“This isn't just a book to skim read and put back on the shelf but a practical guide with many simple exercises that will, if you try them, significantly change the way you think about your public speaking performance. It will change the way you view yourself and the way you prepare for and deliver every presentation, from a short thank you at the end of a birthday dinner to the career-making pitch to your next boss or the future investors in your world-changing startup. If you've had a bad experience, or managed to avoid being thrust into the spotlight, or even if you have made many presentations but always felt terrified at the prospect and unhappy with your delivery, then the advice you'll find here can help you find the confidence you need to stand up and speak without (too much) fear and give a great performance. It tells you the things you really need to know, especially when it comes to the hard, tedious stuff like rehearsing, and it doesn't pull any punches. Even if you’re a regular and fairly confident speaker, you'll find a lot of sound advice. This inspiring book also manages to crystallise the core lessons in an unforgettable way.” Bill Thompson, BBC World Service
”Rich in insight, advice and guidance, Julie has written a book that lifts the lid on the reality of public speaking. She shows a deep understanding of how to ensure that you connect with your audience to bring about the magic mojo factor. The book approaches speaking from an internal point of view (how you see yourself as a speaker, your confidence and mindset) and also covers the practicalities of how to speak effectively in a way that really engages. Julie recognises that public speaking is about performance, authenticity and connectivity with your audience it's these qualities that shape a great speaker. If you're self-critical, analytical, fearful, have had some knocks or just want to get a deeper insight into this topic read this book.” Rasheed Ogunlaru, speaker, life coach and author
”The approach Julie has taken with her book is hugely appealing and it is helpful to note that the book can be dipped into now and then if needed. However, once I picked it up and began turning pages, I found myself swept along by Julie's positive and confident voice and thoroughly engaged by the simple yet effective practical exercises. The book is accessible, devoid of unnecessary jargon and psychoanalysis it speaks to real people facing real challenges, both personally and professionally. It congratulates progress and overcoming fears whilst also recognising the significant impact that some experiences or situations can have on self-esteem and confidence. Julie's expertise flows through the chapters and she delivers her advice with humour and genuine passion. When she describes case studies, you can imagine yourself there and each example she provides is relevant and meaningful. It took me just a few days to read the book from start to finish and I felt energised and inspired when I reached the end. We can all be confident public communicators once we understand and harness the potential of some basic principles.” Sam Davies, Director of Philanthropy & Alumni Engagement, University of Brighton
