Scott Berkun’s “Confessions of a Public Speaker” book

December 28, 2009 in books and resources by dstrom

Is an excellent read and a reminder that we can all use some fine-tuning tips. Berkun is a technology speaker who has worked for Microsoft and done a fair amount of corporate training.

You can grab a digital version here and buy one from Amazon here.
