💗 💗 💗 this book! Hands down 🙌 the best book on public speaking I have EVER read. I won the Toastmasters International UK & Ireland Humorous Speech Contest in 2024 and then the Toastmasters International UK & Ireland Improvised Speech Contest in 2025 and I took SO MANY tips from this book with me on stage when I won in 2025 that I really have to give Michael Chad Hoeppner and the team at GK Training some credit for my wins 😍 And yes, I did all the exercises from the book! I threw tennis balls at walls, recorded myself with my phone, stood on the book and almost broke the spine, and cut out the paper crown and wore it on my head in a Teams meeting 😂 👑

I'm impressed by how engaged your team is in the participants that are here. I was certainly not expecting to get so much individual attention. I love it!
