A great book for improving speaking ability. An analysis of Toastmaster World Champion of Public Speaking winners - development of speeches, delivery, and examples of winning speeches. I have many highlights in this book. A definite keeper and for use in improving my speaking.......more

A must read for every Toastmaster, clearly shows the purpose and principles behind contests, and how to be a competitive speaker at the highest levels, as well as being a competent judge at the lower levels.......more

This book has great ideas and examples, but it reads like a textbook and seems more like a Toastmasters guide. This would be an amazing book for a public speaking college course, but not as much for a leisure read.......more
