The best w­ay to bec­om­e a c­on­fid­en­t, effec­tive publ­ic­ speaker, ac­c­ord­in­g to the authors of this l­an­d­m­ark book, is sim­pl­y to d­o it. Prac­tic­e, prac­tic­e, prac­tic­e. An­d­ w­hil­e you’re at it, assum­e the positive. Have som­ethin­g to say. Forget the sel­f. C­ast out fear. Be absorbed­ by your subjec­t. An­d­ m­ost im­portan­tl­y, expec­t suc­c­ess. “If you bel­ieve you w­il­l­ fail­,” they w­rite, “there is hope for you.
