"I'm Speaking is not a book on public speaking. Public speaking is an old white guy, standing in front of a podium, telling you things you don't want to know on a topic you're not interested in. He thinks he's funny. His mustache is funny. This is a book about creating a clear, confident voice that is authentically yours and using it fearlessly"-- Provided by publisher.
