Before reading The S.I.M.P.L.E. Guide I was always nervous and did not enjoy giving speeches or talking in large groups of people. The S.I.M.P.L.E. Guide has given me a newfound confidence. Coming from the pageant world one would assume I have my public speaking skills down but nothing has prepared me for delivering a confident and perfect presentation like this book. Thank you Terry for making speaking in front of people fun and enjoyable. This book needs to be enjoyed by all.

Terry Fossum’s new book is indeed S.I.M.PL.E. yet profound in addressing how to triumph over one of our greatest fears–public speaking. With humor, personal insights and anecdotes Terry gets to the core of what it takes to be an effective public speaker.

Have you ever walked out of a presentation with the thought,
“Wow, that was fantastic, how did the presenter do that?” Terry
Fossum, one of the most gifted speakers of our time, walks you
through the steps of becoming a dynamic speaker. Energy,
excitement and enthusiasm are on every page as the reader is
led through not just the construction of a presentation, but the
mental preparation needed to give a dynamic speech. I’ve been
teaching and doing presentations for almost fifty years and I
learn new things whenever I hear Fossum present or read one
of his books. If you are new to public speaking or an old hand,
A S.I.M.P.L.E. Guide to Public Speaking is a must.
