TalkPower

TalkPower, a book about performance skills, introduces a new step by step training program for developing the ability to speak well in public. Created by Natalie H. Rogers, actress, author, psychotherapist, and president of TalkPower Inc., this book is specifically designed for the anxious speaker as well as speakers with serious loss of control and avoidance problems. Addressing the relationship between your body, your mind, and your performance, TalkPower is based upon the "Panic Clinic for Public Speaking Workshop" Ms. Rogers has been conducting for the past 20 years. Practicing the simple yet profound exercises in this book will produce a change in your level of comfort that is immediate, highly visible, and will become a permanent part of your muscle memory. This includes:

-A significant reduction of your intense anxiety and rapid heartbeat

-The elimination of stammering

-Enhanced concentration

-The ability to remain focused on your presentation rather than on negative thoughts about the audience

-A significant reduction of trembling and involuntary movement

-The end of thought blocking

-A reduction of accelerated speech

-A newfound confidence

-And a lack of self-consciousness when facing an audience

Comparable to the systematic practice routines star athletes receive when preparing for competitive events, the success of the TalkPower program lies in the innovative exercises that train the mind and body to develop and integrate new habits and skills. These practical skills provide the physical, mental, and emotional self-control, concentration, and warmth of a natural speaker. The chapters in this book are arranged in a step-by-step design using simple language and repetitive drills. Included are original templates to help you organize your information for a listening audience. The synthesis of Concentration exercises, stress reduction techniques, correct breathing techniques, inner attention practice adapted from the Yoga tradition, and speech Crafting establishes TalkPower as a highly original state-of-the-art approach for training professionals to speak confidently in public.
