Gerald R. Ford

I used to be just like you
At school and at university, I hated speaking in front of others. I shook all over and never volunteered. Until a Saturday seminar at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, where I put my hand up first, just to get it over with.
This book tells the story of that small step and everything that followed. Nobody is born a natural speaker. Persuasive speaking is a craft, and with the right method, anyone can learn it.
