Virtual Speech Coach Releases New Public Speaking Mini-Course Book

Saint Paul, MN, December 07, 2015 --(PR.com)-- "Facts tell, but stories sell!" says communication expert, Diane Windingland, in the lesson on "Engage Your Audience with Stories" in her latest book, "Public Speaking: A Very Short Course."

"Public speaking is a skill that is critical to success, but all too often is only available as a full semester speech course," says Windingland. "When an association asked me if I could create a short course for college students, a course that could be integrated into a non-speech course, I realized there was a need for a short and easy curriculum that would help people learn key presentation skills without having to take a separate speech class."

"Public Speaking: A Very Short Course," available through Amazon ($8.00) offers 7 short lessons that can be completed in as little as 15 minutes each, in a class, in a workshop, or through individual study.

This flexible curriculum can be inserted in and adapted to a non-speech class as a public speaking segment, or with extension activities and time for participants to give speeches, could be used for a one-semester class.

Diane Windingland is the author of several books on communication skills and speaks and coaches on business conversations and presentations. Her websites are VirtualSpeechCoach.com and SmallTalkBigResults.com.
