An amazing book, really easy to read and very helpful. I read it when I was about to do my thesis presentation to get my Bachelor's degree and it changed the game for me. Up until that moment I hadn't had many opportunities to give something akin to a lecture, a public speech or whatever, so it was nervewracking to say the least, but the tips and tricks in this book made it easier (and if you want to know, the presentation went fantastic, haha!) ...more

Nor helpful to me

I have to give presentations for class. I am a great student that is always prepared and does my assignments completely and on time. When it comes to presentations, everything is done early and I practice it. However, when I get in front of the class my nerves take over. This book suggests smiling, breathing, moving, and meditation as ways to overcome that. How am I supposed to meditate in the middle of my speech? The part I need help with is not addressed in a reasonable manner

So pumped to have access to this via NetGalley. I've got speeches to write and would like to master my ability to speak.

BUT, this book does not make me feel like the title says! You Got This: Everything You Need to Master Authentic Public Speaking reads like a book for high school public speaking. It's beginner's basics. It's not enough content to make me move towards mastery.

This is the kind of reason I wish there were still physical bookstores around so I can pick up a book, flip through and

The book is full of very practical and easy to follow tips for anyone who would like to enhance his/her public speaking skills. The book's presentation is well-organized and the author use words which anyone can follow.

I really like the table format of the examples. This will be very helpful for those who are preparing for their speeches.

Anyone who wants to read this book will benefit from the nuggets of learning here.

I give a fair amount of live presentations, so I was really looking forward to getting more best practices and ways to take my speaking to the next level.

However, this book covers really rudimentary, obvious advice. Unless you've never given a live presentation before (and are terrified of doing so), I don't think you'd get much benefit from this book.

Great practical, straightforward read for anyone who needs to brush up on their public speaking skills or who has little experience presenting. Lot's of helpful content! Will use this as a quick reference for any aspect of speaking as needed. ...more
