With thirty years of lecturing and debating under his belt, Reid Buckley rivals his brother Bill at the mike. He now presides over the prestigious Buckley School for Public Speaking, and this book covers many of the tips and principles taught at his school. Topics include: defeating nervousness; building a formidable case that will crush the opposition; developing a speech; coping with a hostile press; how to gesture; and how to dress. Its easy to be mediocre, but if you want to give speeches that your audience will never forget, we recommend that you listen to this book.
