Joe Yazbeck - No Fear Speaking: High-Impact Public Speaking Secrets to Inspire and Influence Any Audience

Praise for No Fear Speaking

Forty years ago I received a book titled Tongue and Quill in the processing line of the US Air Force Academy. We were told anything we needed to know about effective communication was between its covers. It remains the definitive reference for USAF officers today. Loaded with wit, humor, and insight, No Fear Speaking challenges T&Q as the ultimate guide for speakers struggling to master the art of reaching an audience.

No Fear Speaking is a rare work on public speaking that is both readable and immediately useful. Yazbeck guides the reader, step by step, through the mechanics and dynamics of public speaking with clear, lean descriptions that not only convey the methodology but also the underlying logic with great insight. As someone who has worked in the high technology industry for over thirty years, this book taught me that public speaking and technical presentation is not an ancillary activity but a major essential to ones success.

Joe Yazbecks book No Fear Speaking is essential for anyone who wants to deliver effective speeches. It is a road map to success.

In No Fear Speaking, Yazbecks easy-to-comprehend approach is both thorough yet laid-back. He offers tips that truly benefit us rather than batter us round the head to drill the message home. His tips are pure gold. Im a great believer in people who talk the talk having walked the walk. If youre speaking to staff or to companies, motivating teams, or presenting to your peers, being able to stand up there, get noticed, and influence people will benefit you enormously. Yazbeck is the real deal: he is a great speaker on and offstageand now he is showing you how to be one!

Every once in a very long while we come across works that redefine a particular topic or subject. It took 40 years for the pendulum to swing and once again the world has found itself in a WE time. Leadership skills have never been more important nor has the world ever been in greater need of influential, compelling and heart-centered leaders. In No Fear Speaking, Mr. Yazbeck makes it his mission to demystify what it takes to be a great speaker and leads the reader by the hand in the journey of becoming one. He is masterful at distilling the essence of what makes a speaker great. Nevertheless, his true genius lies in his capacity to communicate and educate through the book how to conquer the fear of public speaking, become an impactful communicator and ultimately become an influential leader. This book is truly a refreshing game changer! Thanks Joe!
