Speak Up

Author: Terry Szuplat

‎

As a White House speechwriter, Terry Szuplat helped craft hundreds of speeches for President Obama. But when it came to public speaking, he was plagued by anxiety—like many people—and preferred to remain in the shadows. When he was invited to deliver the first major speech of his life, he faced two choices: continue hiding from what scared him, or finally confront his fears.
In his book "Speak Up," Szuplat shares with readers the life-changing lessons he learned from Barack Obama—one of the most inspiring speakers of our time—and how he applied these techniques to become a better speaker himself. In each chapter, the author shares unprecedented advice from Obama on speaking well, along with fascinating behind-the-scenes stories about writing for a president, so you can master every step of public speaking, including:

This book, written with humor and warmth, is your new guide to the art of public speaking. The next time you speak—whether you're delivering a toast at a loved one's celebration, giving a presentation at work, or making a passionate plea for a cause you care about—you'll not only know what to say, but you'll know how to say it well.
