📚 Note: This book is written in French. An English version may be available in the future.
Have you ever experienced a surge of stress, felt short of breath, experienced mental paralysis at the idea of speaking in front of a small or large committee, in the media for an interview, when participating in a debate or in a meeting – in short, every time you need to defend your ideas to convince your audience?
Everyone who speaks in public knows this: even when you master your subject, you can be destabilized by an unexpected question from a journalist or an unexpected reaction from the audience. Under pressure, in a recording studio as at a professional convention, you're sometimes tempted to protest "Let me speak!"
How do you avoid being caught off guard? Understanding the rules of the game is necessary, but not sufficient. To succeed in getting your message across despite the hazards, you need to prepare to face them.
Nourished by numerous concrete examples, this guide inventories best practices in verbal and non-verbal communication, in substance as in form. It will help those who must speak publicly to finish their intervention without frustration and with the satisfaction of having said what they intended.
Thierry Marcellin, oral communication expert, is the founder of GoodSpeakVR, an autonomous training solution dedicated to public speaking performance, combining artificial intelligence, virtual reality (VR) and multi-device usage (computer, tablet, mobile).
From leading team meetings to major national conventions, including the spokesperson role in media facing journalists, I support executives, managers, and collaborators on all strategic surfaces of their public speaking (informative, expertise, sensitive).
My field experiences in local and national radio as well as television allowed me to explore the captivating world of media and understand its tactical mechanisms in terms of interaction and optimization of public speaking. I completed these field experiences with a specialized master's degree in executive communication at Sciences-Po Paris.
For over 20 years, I have chosen to put my energy at the service of businesses. I have thus hosted hundreds of events and trained several thousand people on public speaking and media topics.
