Scared Speechless: 9 Ways to Overcome Your Fears and Captivate Your Audience

Panic at the podium? This guide by a clinical psychologist and a Hollywood publicist will help you understand—and overcome—your public-speaking fears.

What you say and how you say it speaks volumes about your professional promise and leadership potential. Whether it’s giving an impromptu sales pitch or keynoting a major business conference, public speaking can make you or break you. Are you scared yet? No surprise—most people are! In fact, it’s the #1 fear among Americans. Even many Academy Award winners still get the jitters, as talent rep and publicist Steve Rohr knows very well.

Scared Speechless takes a powerful, unique approach that sets it apart from other public-speaking guides. Rohr’s coauthor, Dr. Shirley Impellizzeri, uses the psychology behind our fears to explain and tame our anxiety. Combine this knowledge with humorous anecdotes, real-world examples, and wisdom about the art of organizing and delivering a spectacular speech, and you have the freshest, most entertaining, and most effective public speaking book available.
