Designed to help readers become successful speakers in the classroom and the workplace, the Public Speaking Guidebook presents the essentials of public speaking through a step-by-step, hands-on approach. An adaptation of Public Speaking 7e, the Guidebook follows the same format as its predecessor and retains a strong emphasis on ethics and a healthy respect for diversity. Centered on three core objectives—preparing the reader for life beyond the classroom, respecting the diversity of the audience and sensitizing the reader to the ethical impact of their own words—the Public Speaking Guidebook provides practical advice and an understanding of why such advice works.
