2nd Book is Now 19 Chapters

I know, I know. I'm supposed to have tidied up my "The Pearls of Your Speech" manuscript before emailing it to Ahmad Fakhri today. 
 
But it did not happen. Instead, I proceeded to add yet another batch of 1,547 words and creating yet another new chapter which I titled it "The Secret is Self-Confidence". Altogether, the second book now totals nineteen chapters and which is outlined below: 
 
TABLE OF CONTENTS – THE PEARLS OF YOUR SPEECH
 
Chapter 1: From Diamond to Pearls 
Chapter 2: The Lectern – Do or Don't 
Chapter 3: Your Choice of Mic 
Chapter 4: Aristotle’s TKEPL Rhetoric 
Chapter 5: The 55/38/7 Formula Explained 
Chapter 6: The Right Words 
Chapter 7: Rhetorical Devices for Speeches 
Chapter 8: Your Voice Matters 
Chapter 9: Your Body Speaks 
Chapter 10: Props in Public Speaking 
Chapter 11: Visual Aids – PowerPoint 
Chapter 12: Storytelling in Public Speaking 
Chapter 13: Speaking in a Virtual Environment 
Chapter 14: The Secret is Self-Confidence 
Chapter 15: The Happy Hormones 
Chapter 16: Active Listening is Just as Important 
Chapter 17: Addressing Contentious Topics 
Chapter 18: The 5P’s Game Plan 
Chapter 19: Parting Thoughts

BTW, I've also received the book's foreword from Simon Gibson (left), World Speech Day founder. 
 
And so, everything is complete on my side and I will send the draft (as well as the foreword) to my co-author for his review. 😁😁😁
