About the Book

We talk a lot. Communication is the core of our lives and emotions. While we speak freely, fluently, and fearlessly in the company of our friends and family, doing the same on stage in front of an audience puts many off and freaks them out. Though you have the desire and are brimming with ideas to share, you procrastinate, not knowing how to make it happen. Why? What is the primary factor that makes you nervous about speaking at conferences?

For many, it is a fear—the fear of the unknown: the unknown process of becoming a speaker at a conference, the scary thought of an unknown venue, the anxiety of standing on an unknown stage, the nervousness of facing an unknown audience, the nightmare of answering unknown questions, and, above all, the dreadful fear of failing.

Speak Effectively At Conferences is on a mission to remove those fears! Its goal is to make everything about speaking at conferences known to you. It aims to familiarize you with the entire process, grow your comfort level, raise your confidence, and transform you into an effective speaker!

As your companion, Speak Effectively At Conferences will:

• Show you the avenues to share your knowledge and build a credible profile
• Help you find conferences and craft the details you require to submit proposals
• Explain to you everything about conferences, venues, and their facilities
• Guide you in creating impactful content—the blend of visuals and narration
• Train you on how to rehearse your talk and incorporate valuable feedback
• Carry you to the stage and teach you the nuances to deliver an impressive talk
• Enrich you with the essentials you need in your life to thrive as an effective speaker

It’s your time now. Take that courageous step to create opportunities, travel to conferences, conquer stages, and speak effectively to resonate with your audience!
