Speak with Confidence and Clarity
or remain unprepared, unheard, unpolished, and undervalued
You could...
Feel confident about presenting important points about your book with skill and poise.
Attract the readers who will love your book.
Look your best.
Sound your best.
Position yourself as an expert on your book topic.
Or you could...
Shy away from opportunities to promote yourself and your book.
Let the competition frame your story and your position in the marketplace.
Face interviews and presentations unprepared, without a message, and get burned.
Use the wrong words, leaving the audience confused.
In my client's words:
"I feel more confident!"
"The course helped me learn to organize my thoughts so I can give a better interview. It has really built my confidence!"
"It was amazing!"
"User friendly and informative."
"You are so great to work with."
"Things I never knew I Could. Should. Must do."
MORE GREAT FEELINGS!
"Success usually involves preparation and thinking about the words I will use, especially since TV spots are so brief."
