Don't say um : how to communicate effectively to live a better life

In the age of technology, we're getting worse at communicating by the day, but the good news is, everyone can improve their speaking. Michael Chad Hoeppner is the foremost expert on effective speaking. Hoeppner has created an entirely new approach to communication, giving people the physical tools to quickly improve their speaking, instead of just the same old speaking coach BS. With exercises like finger-walking to stop using filler words or deeply breathing to fix quivering, Hoeppner teaches readers how to focus on delivery, because how you say something matters more than what you say. Through these exercises, you will be able to talk to a group with complete confidence or just to effectively tell a joke.
