The Captivating Public Speaker was written for people who want to be speakers who captivate audiences. Few are. Nerves get in the way. A lack of knowledge gets in the way. Well-meaning but bad advice gets in the way.

In The Captivating Public Speaker, you’ll learn a system of art and science that will transform your presentations. Built on the AMP’D Framework™, this award-winning guide advances you from an average speaker who merely informs into an exceptional one who inspires.

Every concept in this book has its own podcast episode. Listen to the Public Speaking with Peter George podcast — ranked Top 3% worldwide — to go deeper on any chapter.
