Overview

When you must speak in front of others, do you notice your hands getting a little sweaty or is your stomach feeling queasy? Are you short of breath or is your heart beating faster? These are normal responses to situations such as a job interview, giving a speech or an important presentation or proposal, toasting the bride, being called upon in a meeting or talking to strangers at a networking function. All these situations have one thing in common: the perception that you are being judged. That makes the stakes high and stress is a natural outcome. If, however, the stress response becomes overwhelming, it can be a problem for both your career and your sense of self-esteem. If your response to a high-stakes speaking situation is to avoid it altogether, or when it can't be avoided, you find yourself freezing up and unable to find the right words, it's time to do something about it. And this is just the right book for you! Imagine how your life would be different if you confidently embraced high-stakes speaking situations. How would your career improve if you could be calm and think clearly in these situations? With the tools in this book, you can discover for yourself how calm and confident you can be in any high-stakes speaking situation.
