The aim of this eBook is to arm you with a simple formula for speaking to anyone, at anytime, anywhere you find yourself. Author and professional speaker, Chris Widener, outlines three easy steps to speaking confidence that will help you transition from feeling awkward around others to being an engaging communicator, not just with your friends, but with any number of people, known or strangers, in all situations, casual or formal.I speak to small groups of 2 or 3 and larger groups of 30 to a few hundred in the course of my work. Public speaking to large groups doesn't bother me so much - I am usually armed with practiced notes; but in smaller groups I feel more exposed. Widener explains the psychology behind these feelings of insecurity and explains that we ALL suffer the same feelings - that is good to remember! Every concept made so much sense and gave me a `light bulb moment' - like having an `others' centered orientation' and not needing to feel pressure to be interesting but to simply be interested - the list goes on. The strategies Widener offers are easy to understand and apply and gave me a clear pathway to follow rather than bumbling my way through uncomfortable encounters.`How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere' is concisely written and packed with critical and valuable information that will help even the most seasoned speaker feel more at ease in the presence of others. I would recommend this eBook to anyone wanting to develop better connections with others, for anyone whose work involves public speaking, to anyone who lacks confidence around others...for anyone who interacts with people!
