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

Shirley Impellizzeri, Steve Rohr

Summary

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.

About the Expert
Randal Schaffer’s tastes were turned in the direction of horror with the first film that he saw at the age of four, The Pit and the Pendulum with Vincent Price. The first story that he “wrote” using comic-strip style panels was about a mad scientist who creates a giant moth-man who then bit his head off. As an early reader, Randal began devouring H. P. Lovecraft and E. A. Poe in grade school, moving on to Stephen King and Clive Barker. He is writing his own series called “Shivers: Tales of Erotic Nightmare”. The first of these, Going All the Way is currently on Amazon, to be followed soon by book 2, Lady Frankenstein’s Lover.
