Sergey
Shipunov has written a book Charismatic Public
Speaking. Why do I recommend reading it?
First,
because I personally know Sergey Shipunov. He began
as simply a participant in one of my training sessions. But he was one of the
most vivid, bright, and interesting, and thus, one of my most courageous,
responsible, and diligent students, and then…That was long time ago.
I
watched with admiration as Sergey superseded one, then another, moving
forward nicely and firm. He became a business instructor of rhetoric—one of
the best in Russia. He created his own company called “University of Rhetoric and The Art of Oratory” which
is successful and also one of the best in quality.
And
now Sergey has written a book—and an excellent one. It is true because I
picked it up, opened it, and understood that it was great immediately. The
book’s content is dense and smart, and its design is carefully chosen and of
extremely good quality. I really envied Sergey—my books had never been
published so nicely.
More
than 200 illustrations, more than 20 intelligence-cards, more than 40
exercises, over 100 methods, more than 30 parameters included—all of those
parts constitute the formula of oratorical skill.
The
topics of the book are very comprehensive: alleviation of stage fright, eye contact,
working with one’s voice, taking pauses, struggling with expletives, the use
of questions, gestures, public speaking, acting techniques, debate,
storytelling, small talk technology, reading text, saying toasts… everything
that is so useful, you will find in this book.
If you
have to speak in public and you plan to improve your skills as a public
speaker, this book is worth buying.
When
Sergey presented me with the book, he signed it “To Nikolai Ivanovich. With gratitude to the Master from whom I
was fortunate to learn a lot.”
Sergey,
good luck! Keep it up!
