Reviews

ā€œLisa Marshall, reading her idea-packed guide with charm and clarity, goes well beyond the topic of giving speeches in this breezy, fast moving audiobookā€¦she engages her listeners with her laid-back earnestness and frequent invitations to practice these techniques, quiz themselves, and put her suggestions into practiceā€¦her writing and speaking have the humanity needed to make listeners want to devour this material and take their communication skills to the next level.ā€ ā€”Audiofile Magazine

ā€œThe author narrates with a strong voice and conversational style and uses appropriate pauses to stand in for pacing in the written text. Occasional humor and engaging scenarios are delivered in a personal manner. This title would be a good addition to self-help collections in college and public libraries.ā€ ā€”Library Journal
