Super Q&A from Confessions webcast

Scott — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:35:40 +0000

Did a webcast earlier this week to 500 folks about topics from Confessions.

I went back in afterward and grabbed all the questions from the chat room during the talk and answered them all here.

Lots of good stuff in there – it’s currently one of the most popular posts on my site.

Wall Street Journal reviews Confessions

Really great, high profile review here – check it out

Mr. Berkun’s book is packed with tips on how to reduce anxiety and how to speak in public with greater effectiveness. They range from common sense—arrive early, make sure you have back-up copies of your speech, practice—to more advanced tips on what to do when 10 people show up to hear you in a 1,200-person room (cluster the 10 immediately), how to cut off rambling questions and how to fall silent after making a key point, to give the audience a chance to soak it in.

Read the full review on WSJ.com here.
