Sick of tired textbooks that prepare you for public speaking twenty years ago? The game has changed in the landscape of effective communication and in what it takes to leave people wanting to know you, work with you, find out more about you. Speaking effectively in both live and virtual contexts has never been a more crucial or dynamic skill.
This user-friendly text empowers you to present the best version of yourself in the contexts of the modern world where communication lights up more complex neural pathways in our brains. The energy coursing through you when you have the attention of a group of people is a source of power and not anxiety. Learn strategies that help you come prepared, organize and practice what you want to say, and think in empowering ways about the speaking challenge itself. Let this text inspire you to be calm, cool, and clear-headed and to maintain confidence in the high-pressure situations that we encounter in the here and now.
Amy Gentile teaches Public Speaking and English at both the high school and college levels. She has completed several collections of poetry and also writes fiction, essays, and collegiate texts. She holds a Bachelor of Science in English and a Master of Arts in English Education from the University of Connecticut, and she recently earned a Master of Science in Curriculum and Instruction. Her social and sports commentaries have aired on WSHU and National Public Radio, and her poetry has appeared in Otoliths, Paper Nautilus, Orenaug Mountain Poetry Journal, Letters to Lovers Zine, and other print and online journals. Effective Communication Now: An Updated Approach to Public Speaking is her first professionally published textbook.
