World Class Speaking is All Meat, No Fluff

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2010

Verified Purchase

Do you ever wonder how speakers put their talks together? As a presenter, do you struggle with lesson preparation? Do you want a system that can help you prepare lessons that connect with people? If you answer yes to any of these questions, either or both of these books will be helpful and useful to you.

Last year I read World Class Speaking by Craig Valentine and Mitch Meyerson. Meyerson provides some information about marketing yourself as a speaker and building an online system for doing such, but the meat of the book is Valentine's instruction about the nuts-and-bolts of speaking.

Craig Valentine is a "world champion of public speaking" through Toastmasters and has identified a clear system that can help any speaker create an idea and move it forward to a full-blown keynote speech. He lays this system out in his book. The book is organized around three parts that focus on building your speech, generating leads, and building an information business through your speaking.

The heart of the book, for me, is Part I, "How to Master the Art of Public Speaking." In four chapters, Craig covers general speaking tips, speech-structure, content development, and stage presence and delivery. His chapters are well-written and filled with examples that illustrate his point and hints to help you put these concepts into practice in your own speaking.

The final two Parts have more to do with marketing and business and are probably more useful for professional speakers than preachers (which I am), though I was able to apply some of the concepts to my blog and social media strategies.

I'm using Craig's 9 Step Structure Model to develop my sermons and have been rewarded with several comments about the clarity of these lessons. It's a useful approach and well worth investing in by buying this book.

This book Delivers...

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2009

I just finished reading this book. If you're focused on winning the speaking game, this is absolutely the book for you! No doubt about it, Craig Valentine and Mitch Meyerson deliver what they promise in World Class Speaking. Craig is the king of "break it down and make it simple." He gives you specifics -- stuff you can use right now -- no theory. He walks you through the step-by-step process of becoming a great speaker, then does what NO other book I've read has done. He and Mitch take you step-by-step through a complete process of how to package, promote and sell your speaking. He tells you how, points you to resources, gives you the why's and the psychology behind each lesson, and even gives you access to 7 downloadable audio lessons (and worksheets) that reinforce the lessons in his book. He truly leaves no stone unturned regarding the speaking profession. This is not just a book. This is a full-fledged course on becoming a sought after, well paid public speaker or, as Craig says, "expert who speaks."

The only thing Craig and Mitch don't provide is your effort. If you're focused on winning, there's no way to lose with this book. I promise you.

Practical tips from an experienced speaker/marketer.

Good book with practical how to knowledge. Some of it is a little dated and Craig's own email classes could use design upgrades. They have a circa late 1990's look. I liked his approach. Clearly experienced and successful as a pro speaker.

The tools and principles in this book apply to every aspect of powerful, effective communication.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I think I'm already a decent speaker (church sermons, seminars, workshops, entrepreneurial groups). However, the structure and insight Craig and Mitch give us in this book improves not only my speaking, but also all my marketing materials, articles/blogs, emails, and general conversations. The book begins with the basics and advanced tools of speaking and then talks about how to market yourself as a professional speaker. I found the latter part valuable for amping up the quality of my presentations. So even if you aren't interested in the speaking "business," you will find value in this section also. The principles and tools in this book apply to the stage, the board room, team meetings, networking, and even general social gatherings.

Best Book for Aspiring Professional Speakers!

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2012

Verified Purchase

When this book first came out, I was just getting started in the speaking business and I checked it out from the library 5 times in one year before I bought it. I finally realized I was going to keep using it as a reference and I really wanted my own copy. I especially have applied Part I "How to Master the Art of Public Speaking" in both my own speaking business and now when I coach others. The chapter on structuring your presentations alone is worth the cost of the book!

Part II "How to Generate Leads, Customers, and Huge Profits from your Presentations" was instrumental in helping me have a profitable business and now, more than 2 years after buying the book, I am finally getting to Part III "How to Use Virtual Speaking to Reach Thousands . . ."

If you want to become a world class speaker, learn from a world class speaker, Craig Valentine!
