Today, we convened a huddle meeting and reviewed our progress on our second book "The Pearls of Your Speech". Yet again, we decided to add another chapter "Storytelling in
Public Speaking".
After all, storytelling is a powerful tool that has been used for thousands of years to communicate information, channelize ideas and convey emotions. If you want to break down walls with people, truly connect with them and make an impact, few things beat a well told story.
And which means the book will have seventeen chapters in all.
I have already sorted and
rearranged the chapter listing as follows:
TABLE OF CONTENTS – THE PEARLS OF YOUR SPEECH
Chapter 1: From Diamond to Pearls
Chapter 2: The Lectern – Do or Don't
Chapter 3: Aristotle’s TKEPL Rhetoric
Chapter 4: The 55/38/7 Formula Explained
Chapter 5: The Right Words
Chapter 6: Rhetorical Devices for Speeches
Chapter 7: Your Voice Matters
Chapter 8: Your Body Speaks
Chapter 9: Props in Public Speaking
Chapter 10: Visual Aids – PowerPoint
Chapter 11: Storytelling in Public Speaking
Chapter 12: Speaking in a Virtual Environment
Chapter 13: The Happy Hormones
Chapter 14: Active Listening is Just as Important
Chapter 15: Addressing Contentious Topics
Chapter 16: The 5P’s Game Plan
Chapter 17: Parting Thoughts
We also re-examined our timeline and revised it accordingly. We now plan to get everything ready by end September and have it printed in October.
That means, a soft launch is being sketched out for November 1st. What stays the same is our official launch date, which is March 15, 2025, to coincide with World Speech Day.
