A self-proclaimed introvert turned Toastmaster Champion reveals how to infuse your message with emotions to improve your public speaking skills.

Many people fear public speaking more than death. Most wish they could do it better, or at least avoid the sweating, stuttering jitters that plague them before any presentation. Vikas Jhingran has been there. He was so poor at speaking in public that his supervisor wouldn’t let him make presentations to clients—even when he had done all the work. When he tried to improve his skills by studying professional speakers, he was surprised to discover that few presenters understood speech making at a fundamental level. Their overly prescriptive approach often confused the speech and the tools that are used to deliver it. What listeners are most engaged by are the emotions that go with your message. By focusing on this important aspect of communication—the transfer of emotion—this guide to successful communication: • Develops an emotion-driven approach that will help you deliver a powerful, effective message. • Encourages introverts and non-native speakers to find their voices and deliver impactful speeches. • Clarifies the roles of common speaking tools and shows how to use them effectively.

In Emote, Vikas presents an emotion-based approach that will change the way you think about verbal communications, helping you gain the confidence you need to stand in the spotlight, create connections, and get your message across to anyone.

“Emote approaches verbal communications from a very human perspective. It will help you improve verbally, whether public speaking or in one-on-one conversations.” —Nancy Duarte, author of Resonate
