There is a real danger that this book will turn public speaking into something that you can actually enjoy. (Graham Davies, speaker and author of The Presentation Coach)

This book ticks so many boxes with its many different tips and techniques but also adds the lighter touch, the sprinkling of humour throughout. Enjoy the ride! (Sue Warner, founder, Speakers Trust)

This is a zingy, inspiring and practical book, peppered with scintillating quotes and examples. I love the many acronyms, like EET, 3Rs etc. It really fired me up - and I learned a lot! (Cao Jun Cao, PhD researcher, novice speaker)

As a speaker, Vaughan has tremendous charisma and a sense of fun - but he also possesses rich insight into the art of public speaking.

Practical, effective and proven ways to improve your speaking, conveyed with great wit. Not surprising - Vaughan learnt it all from his contemporaries - Dickens, Twain, Wilde...! (Aldous Lippard, marketing manager)

Read this book and, just as if you were listening to him, you will come away educated, entertained and informed - or you will wake up refreshed!
