I'd attended Lenny's "Simply Speaking" workshop at Duke University, and coupled with reading this book, I feel much more confident about my future presentations.
Lenny provides extremely helpful tips from his broad experience throughout the book. I also found the "Lessons from Mom" and "Tip of the Day" sections ingenious!

We all know that our first public speaking event was unsuccessful. However, after giving more and more and more speeches in school, business, church meetings etc., you build more confidence and your nervousness turns to confident energy. What I have learned is that in order to get over the nervousness as a beginner, you must PRACTICE, PRACTICE, and volunteer or participate in any communication topics that you can speak on. Basically "initiate communication" at all times in your environment such as school, work, on the phone etc. The other secret is to have patients, it takes time, but the more you practice and study the art of public speaking, you will become very proud of your increase confidence and speaking ability. This book should be your number 1 source to develop this skill. Read it atleast 3 times, while practicing and giving speeches before you purchase other public speaking book. I have several to increase my knowledge, but this one is the best. God bless you and you will do great. Remember - you develop this skill, you become very valuable and unique to yourself, your career and to others because this skill is very powerful.
