What people are saying about Speaking Like a Unique and Sexy Speaker:

Secrets of a Unique & Sexy Speaker sets out the rules of speaking in clear, concise, and easy to follow steps that take the mystery and fear out of public speaking. This is an indispensable guide for anyone who wants to, or has to, stand before an audience to deliver a message.

As an international speaker with more than a dozen years of experience speaking to all kinds of audiences, I can say this is a truly useful collection of tips that can help any speaker rise to the next level. I've read many books for speakers and this is the one I'd use right before I go on stage or as I fly to my next engagement to remind me of the basics and to get a good, positive outlook thanks to its bite-sized chunks of wisdom.

Secrets of a Unique and Sexy Speaker is chock full of wonderful tips and trade secrets from one of America’s most gifted public speaking coaches. The book embodies effective lessons that will elevate the understanding and performance of even the most seasoned presenters. Working with Marion over the years on everything from Board presentations to holiday party speeches, I’ve found her advice is always on point. The informational tips and stories are assembled in a coherent, thoughtful and easy to apply guide that is an invaluable tool for speakers at any level.

Marion Claire knows exactly how to pinpoint the area a speaker needs to master in order to deliver a compelling speech. She's clear, direct, and knows how to make you accountable without making you 'wrong'. I highly recommend her writings. She's a wonderful coach.

Secrets of a Unique & Sexy Speaker is a spirited, direct, helpful primer for those who want to learn how to speak effectively in public. As Marion teaches us, changing your speaking style is a powerful way of changing your life.

This is a compilation of great public speaking help from one of the best public speaking coaches you’ll find, Marion Claire. I’ve made nearly 2,000 speeches, talks and presentations, and I still think I can get better at public speaking. I regularly use many of the helpful tips that Marion provides. This terrific book will allow you the opportunity to stand up and be a great public speaker.

Marion Claire’s tips on public speaking merit a wide audience. Anyone who has suffered through an inarticulate, meandering presentation will wish that the speaker had consulted her suggestions. And the speakers who mumble through their speeches will definitely benefit from her advice.

This wonderful book shows you how to control the pressure speaking in public puts on all of us. It’s so thorough and well-articulated that everyone will find things to make them better at it. Marion Claire has identified and studied aspects of public presentation that many of us, even those with speaking experience, may not even be aware of. I have gained valuable insights.

Lucky me! I read Secrets of a Unique & Sexy Speaker before two public appearances, one in front of a hundred or so business people and the other before a board of 18. I chose several Speaking Tips to practice and test drive. While much of the book might have you nod in recognition, if you’re aware of your own "ticks" and have received feedback about your speaking, you will - as I did - benefit enormously from consistently applying these techniques to help you improve. As Marion Claire points out, speaking is a mental as well as physical sport that requires preparation to achieve greater freedom of expression. Thank you, Marion, for your thorough, practical and encouraging guidance.

Marion has a unique understanding of the fear that comes with performing in front of an audience. For many years she suffered from agoraphobia which, among other symptoms, made her too fearful to give a speech or make a presentation. She is now fully recovered and speaks and coaches from personal experience on overcoming anxiety while maintaining a successful career.
