I recently bought a public speaking book in a Toastmasters Club. The book title is “Are You With Me? – How to get the message across and win them over”. This book was written by a professional speaker and seminar leader called William Lim. He is a Distinguished Toastmaster.

After reading through this book, I found that this book is very suitable for those who wish to seek improvement in their speaking skills. The approaches are very simple and easy to follow.

Here are the contents of the book:
1) Conquer your fear
2) Know your audience
3) Speech development
4) Add impact to your speech
5) Using stories and humour
6) Effective listening skills
7) Action speaks louder than words
8 ) You and your voice
9) Q&A session and impromptu speeches
10) Layout for success
11) Evaluation for further improvement

Some of the ideas and concepts shared in this book are quite common that we have heard them quite often in public speaking arena. However, sometimes, we don’t really need new ideas, we just need to be reminded.
