Last week, we asked readers to recommend their favorite books in public speaking, presentation skills, or related fields.
Thank you! Six Minutes readers answered the call with 16 book recommendations. Some books have been reviewed on Six Minutes. Some are on my wish list. And some were brand new to me.
How about you? Which of these appeal to you? Have a comment to share?
Whenever my friends and family ask me what I want for Christmas or birthday gifts, I always start with my book wishlist.
As I work on this year’s list, you might guess that many public speaking and presentation skills books are included. You are right!
I’m going to post my my personal public speaking gift wishlist and recommendations in an article next week, but I’d like your help too. And, I’m going to reward a Six Minutes reader with a great public speaking book.
I’m pleased to announce that a new resource for speakers has been created at speaking.alltop.com.
Guy Kawasaki and the team at Alltop enthusiastically took my suggestion and delivered a great resource. It lists the five most recent articles published by a subset of public speaking blogs listed in the Public Speaking Blogosphere.
The public speaking blogosphere: a large and varied space with fuzzy edges spanning many disciplines. There are public speaking blogs which focus on speech delivery, visual presentation design, speechwriting, humor, personal development, and interpersonal communication. Now, you can subscribe to all of them in seconds. (Find out how at the end of this post.)
Ever wonder what the audience really wishes you would do better when you speak?
Chris Brogan conducted a quick and informal survey asking the question:
Quick: Give me YOUR 3 things you wish speakers would do better, or not do at all!
Eric Feng on the Public Speaking Blog recently posted 250 Things You Wish You Know That Will Guarantee Your Speaking Success. I’m skeptical when I read phrases such as “guarantee your speaking success”, and I’m even more skeptical now that I’ve read through all 250 things.
Inspired by 25 Skills Every Man Should Know, I pondered a list of the 25 essential skills every public speaker should have. How did I do?
