Grace under Pressure: A Masterclass in Public Speaking (Paper Back)  | Released: 1.07.2019

Grace under Pressure is a perfect book focused on improving your public speaking skills from novice to master. The book focuses on the issue of public speaking by unveiling three areas of training: how an individual can overcome his/her inner obstacles and focus on developing outward presence; how can one can best develop the physical aspects of speech, including posture, breathing, resonance, and articulation; and how to give the final delivery from pauses to storytelling to improve ones performance. The book contains success stories of individuals who suffered from the syndrome of stage fright and were able to overcome it with the help of certain techniques. The author has shared such success stories. Lisa Wentz has spent the past decade helping professional and amateur public speakers overcome blocks, develop their voices and craft their delivery.
