"An enlightening blend of clear explanation and sound practical advice" - Professor David Crystal.
The authors are delighted to announce the launch of the revised edition of "The Exceptional Speaker - How to Deliver Exceptional Speeches" on Monday 22 March 2021. It will be exactly 7.5 years since the launch of the maiden edition which received 16 reviews on Amazon - all 5 stars. It's been a labour of love over the various lockdowns. We deliberately did not churn the book out in record time, but carefully revised, added and updated as necessary with the help of our editor Michelle Coetzee. We believe we have a significantly improved offering sporting a new logo and book cover. Since the book is for both "in the room" and remote speeches, there's a new chapter on Remote Speaking. The book has swelled to over 100,000 words from 243 to 350 pages, but you won't find any padding. We have endorsements from Prof Max Atkinson and Prof David Crystal - for which we thank them, among others. The initial revised print is just 1000 copies in hard cover, coming from India and split between England and South Africa. We will be live streaming on The Exceptional Speaker Facebook group starting at the end of February 2021. We encourage you to join that group if you have not done so already so that you can be notified of the live streams. We will be hosting monthly one day online Masterclasses in various time zones starting 24 March (Australia). These are limited to 10 delegates per class and you can show your interest by leaving a comment here or visiting www.exceptionalspeaker.com. We look forward to partnering with you on your journey to deliver sensational speeches. Alan Stevens & Paul du Toit.
