Customer Reviews

Speech fodder

I bought this book because I had writer's block while preparing for a Toastmaster's speech. I needed to intersperse some storytelling into a speech about attitudes. Well, along with hundreds of quotes, the book contains short stories and anectdotes on dozens of insightful subjects such as ability and attitude to winners and youth. You'll find openers, closers and materials for in-between. There are no prepared speeches, but there is plenty of information available to help develop and deliver a speech that will impact your audience.Even if you do not have to prepare for a speech, the book provides inspiration. Reading the uplifting stories and quotes just makes for a better day.
