10 Days to More Confident Public Speaking is a fascinating book. It has lots of tips that I have found are time-proven and trustworthy. Let me give you a chapter overview, so that you can see if it will fill the bill for you.

Day 2 discusses the things needed to have a successful presentation and what contents need to be in a speech. Such as creating a outline, being organized, and steps to develop your speech content.
Day 3: Relating to Your Audience
Relating to the audience is a very important part of giving a speech. This chapter focuses on the desires of the audience. Things that will keep them alert and involved.

Day 6 explains things that can be used to help your speech overall like alliteration, metaphors and similes, and imagery. It talks about ethics in the form of not committing plagiarism, and using proper attribution.

Day 10: Ending Your Speech with a Bang
This chapter focuses on the things that can be done towards the end of the speech or presentation. Like answering questions and how to handle certain questions.
This book breaks down certain techniques that help in the preparation of a speech or presentation.
It also provides many tips that will be helpful for people who have a fear of public speaking. I feel that this book could help many people. The author gives good examples that would be easy for people to use to practice their speaking.
This book would be of value to any person because at one point in a person's life they will have to give a speech or presentation. With this book it makes it that much easier for that person to prepare so they can do well.
