Public speaking is the #1 fear in America. Millions of people are terrified at the prospect of going up on stage and addressing a crowd even more than they're afraid of death. And yet, it's an unavoidable experience if you want to succeed in this world. Maybe it's a business presentation for your career path, a speech in school, or a toast at your best friend's wedding. Fear of speaking grips you. But it doesn't have to. Not anymore. Full of relatable anecdotes, executable tips, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, this book promises to teach you 7 proven strategies to help you find your inner presenter. Don't wait any longer. Today is the day you take charge of your anxiety, calm your nerves, and - most importantly - speak with no fear. Excerpt &amp; Encouragement BEFORE YOU BEGIN: BELIEVE I welcome you to jump into the strategies in the book. Just promise me that you won't start with doubt. Doubt deters you from taking strategies seriously. Doubt erodes confidence. Doubt makes truth seem like lies. Doubt will feed your fear and give you more speaking nightmares. So you have to let go of your doubts and start believing in yourself. A BIG part of overcoming fear is believing in yourself. Begin with belief. "Where you are is not where you have to be." This sentence was included in my introduction. Do you believe it? Do you believe in yourself? At least some part of you does. Otherwise you wouldn't have picked up this book! Let's build on this belief. Take a moment and whisper the immortal words from the classic story, The Little Engine That Could, "I think I can. I think I can. I think I can." Are you struggling? Do you find yourself dwelling on negative thoughts? "It's not going to work for me.""I'm just not a good speaker.""I'm an introvert. I just can't.""I've tried in the past, and it didn't work." If you are struggling to believe, will you suspend disbelief while you read? Read this book as a believer, not as a skeptic. Education will often teach you to think critically. Keep that mindset for work and academics. This book needs you to think receptively. Trade in any negativity for positivity. Think well of yourself. Believe in yourself. Remember: "Where you are is not where you have to be." Act on these strategies and set yourself up for success in speaking, in your career, and in your life: THE SEVEN STRATEGIES 1. Uncover &amp; Clean the Wound 2. Imagine the Worst 3. You Be You 4. Speak to One 5. It's Not About You 6. Channel The Power 7. Be in the Moment

Review\n"I recommend this book to all leaders who are searching for a new start, how to transform their career, or embarking on their leadership journey. Steve and Mike give practical advice through unique stories and guidance that every leader should implement. Towards the end the book the authors write, "Leadership isn't about impressing anyone It's about lifting others up with understanding and empathy. It's about listening. It's about saying "Thank you." It's about being present with the people we influence." This is a fabulous way to look at leadership. Lastly, I'll be creating a list of new goals and vision for myself and team based on what I learned. Awesome book!" 
- Issaquah\n"This is one of a handful of leadership books I've read during the global pandemic. It is easy to follow, engaging, and full of actionable steps to take to become a better leader. Within the first two chapters I'd broken out a journal and had begun to work through the numerous suggested actions to take/journal about. Another great thing I loved about the book is the number of relevant / inspirational quotes from business leaders. I'm an avid highlighter on my kindle, and I probably highlighted more in this book than I did in the last 4 combined. Definitely check this book out." 
- BMAN1703\n"This book was stellar. I read it all in one sitting, but I know I must go back and reread this gem. 
My favorite part of the book was the case studies, and this book was slammed packed with them. 
I also realized I've been focusing way too much of my time on the little stuff (like lots of pesky items on a long to-do list) and ignoring the big stuff in my life (my MVPs, family, relationships, sleep, and physical performance). AKA the things that really matter. 
Thanks Mike and Steve for an outstanding book." 
- Lauren Smith\n"This book encourages people to be the leader, the person tat they need to be. To stop allowing fear and self doubt to win. If you have recently been promoted, take a bit and read this book you will be a better person, a better leader, a better friend to others." 
- Steve Speights 
"The real cases in the book were very relatable and I see such cases all the time. The best part of the book was to present the shifts as small and very doable ones. The practical tips on how to get started, make good choices every day lowers the barrier towards change even more. Highly recommended for professionals who always say that they are too busy to learn and grow! You only need to make a 3 degrees shift!"
