Jim is a genius at taking us out of our heads, our doubts, our insecurities and self-talk that leads nowhwere. My first inclination was to describe the book as simple, straightforward and practical. Yet none of these words does justice to Jim's book. He handily eliminates, in about 42 information and humour filled pages, every insecurity we have hidden behind, each self belief we've fostered, and an entire rafter of avoidance patterns we have slunk under when anyone asks us to speak in public. Jim's depth of knowledge about people and what makes us tick is precisely why his book is so readable. He has an answer for every excuse we make about why we can't speak in public. And he knows:
- We all screw up speaking
- We all suck sometimes
- No one else knows unless we tell them
