Recommendation

Business books are often informative, but rarely entertaining. Lucky for all of us, Andrew Frothingham’s latest book on public speaking manages to integrate both objectives into one clear, concise and funny book. He splits the book into two parts: "About Speaking" and "Gems You Can Use." The first part presents the author’s wisdom on effective speech making. He cites rules, pointers and strategies to build your toolkit for designing and delivering great speeches. The second part of the book is composed of well-known quotes grouped into logical speech topic areas such as education, ethics and marriage. Taken together, the two parts of this book form an educational and enjoyable read. Virtually any speaker will find valuable tips and useful quotes for a future presentation. getAbstract.com recommends this book to anyone who ever has to give a speech (at the last minute, or not) or to anyone who just likes enlightening tips and quotes.

Take-Aways

  • A last-minute speaking engagement is an opportunity to look good at little cost.
  • The Internet and the Bible are two sources of information for a last-minute speech.
  • Quotes increase your topical authority in a speech.
