Public Speaking: Persuade And Influence Any Audience by Yaniv Zaid is a very good book about how we all can improve our skills in public speaking.  I definitely enjoyed this book for the way the author shows that public speaking is not only about the speaking part.  But public speaking is about things like writing a speech, matching the speech to the targeted audience.  Your speech may have to differ when talking to housewifes as opposed to a motorcycle club.  But maybe you can speak to both, but that takes planning.The book goes into ways to sharpen your messages within the speech, different presentation methods, how your posture and body language can play a role, and the thing I have found that is most important keeping track of time.  Some of the other topics covered within this book are:The book, based on the triumphant international “Debate” method, covers all the subjects composing the theory of public speaking: Writing the speech. Appearance, posture and body language. Introducing presentations. Enhancing interest even during the most uninspired speech. Incorporating humor and personal anecdotes. Adapting to the target audience. Honing the message. Persuasive reasoning Awareness of time and rhythm.I enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it.Thank you for reading my review of Public Speaking: Persuade And Influence Any Audience.
