The Well-Spoken Woman: Your Guide to Looking and Sounding Your Best Paperback – Illustrated, September 20, 2011

Public speaking is an endless challenge. No matter how much or how little experience one has one can always improve - and this book will help anyone do exactly that. The Well Spoken Woman will keep you engaged and entertained with profiles of women who are real pros - as well as a few stories of those who could have used Chris' help before their big moments. I've found this book so useful that I'm buying it as a gift for a bunch of my friends this holiday season!

Whether you choose to follow a path that will include speaking in front of people or not, I found this a very handy reference book. Even making small subtle changes will improve your professional aspect.As a receptionist for a large company, I do speak to a lot of individual people throughout the day. By following the advice and examples in the book, I'm communicating better. Customers like my new attitude and my co-workers are taking me seriously.

This book gives you insight on how to speak well, it also helps you prepare your speech and how to connect with you audience, so your point and your purpose of your speech is relate able to the audience. Over all good book.

Extremely informative and straight to the point. I caught myself researching so MANY strong and driven women ( I sincerely appreciate that). It was absolutely inspiring bc I needed an extra push to find my voice! ( so easy to imitate what "seems" right). I've struggled with confidence over the years and weight gain. As I read, I soon discovered that being myself will work better for me than anything else! Start with what you have. Practice, execute. Anyway, it's worth every penny.

This book builds confidence if you're about to make a big presentation. It's common sense on many levels, but a smart readable guide nonetheless, as women must continue to work twice as hard to get the recognition they deserve in the workplace.

This book is so beautiful and will change your feelings on the perception of women and what we can do with public speaking. Buy it! I let is one of the best I’ve read!

Great book! It is full of very practical tips and guidelines that will make any woman a confident speaker. There was so much that I actually hadnt read elsewhere. I love the fact that she details such simple guidelines as how to stand on stage (the champion stance); how to make eye contact (the 4 box diagram); how to walk on stage (the 3 star diagram). I think it is a must read for any professional (even men).

I'm still on the first chapter but the introduction was good and they're covering 10 female speakers who communicate effectively in different ways. So far, the book is keeping my attention.
