Scared Speechless takes a powerful and unique approach that sets it apart from other public-speaking guides.

• Funny, accessible, and practical wisdom you can start using immediately.
• Real-world examples and humorous anecdotes.
• Advice that applies to every kind of speech in every kind of setting to every kind of audience.
