Mastering Public Speaking – Peter George Interview
There’s a lot more to great public speaking than you might first guess. In this episode, I interview Peter George, an expert in constructing and delivering a message that matters. He has literally written the book on this!
If you are, or wish to become, a public speaker, there are two sources of training that could make a big difference to your success:
* Peter’s book ‘The Captivating Public Speaker’ https://www.amazon.com/Captivating-Public-Speaker-Inspire-Audience-ebook/dp/B0B859VW2Q (Amazon)
* Judy’s course ‘Speaking Voice Technique’ https://judyrodman.com/speaking-voice-technique/ (Get a 30% discount: use code PGCHAT at checkout!)
