 An Outstanding Book for Public Speakers! June 11, 2007
Trilogy Poetry Review (Wisconsin)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book was required for a speech class I took. The book is very interesting and has a lot of techniques to make a speech effective. I really like the sections on "Preparing Your Speech" and "Presenting Your Speech." They were actually the best. There are some great examples of how communication affects the environment and the speaker. The sequential process of writing and delivering a speech is packed with some excellent principles and suggestions. This is an excellent book for preparing and delivering a speech; building confidence to speak, and to develop credibility with the audience. This is an excellent book for speakers and potential speakers. It has helped me with poetry presentations and speaking engagements.
Another great book to read is "Trilogy Moments for the Mind, Body and Soul." This book introduces the new "Epulaeryu" poetic form, and it's also filled with great inspirational poems to stimulate the mind, body and soul.

Ever Learning (TX United States)
This is one book that will stay in my library; Ms Blankenship who contributed material to this book, was my speech class instructor at TCC NE campus, and there is a wealth of information and tool sin this book to help the most scared novice (me) overcome the fear of speaking in front of others by helping you get organized and analyze your audience, etc- this book is a goldmine you shouldn't pass up if you need to or plan to give speeches.
