Who where your mentors growing up? How did they shape your life?

What specific situation or revelation prompted you to write your book?

Take us inside the book. What are two major events taking place?
Written by adjunct communications professor J.M. Wilson The Power of Speech is a concise and easy to read book on public speaking. Similar in scope to The One-Minute Manager it breaks down the art of public speaking to its fundamental elements so that even a child could understand.
Further, this book shows that public speaking is the foundation of every nation and is the glue that holds it together. It plays a role in nearly every aspect of our lives from our romantic relationships to our businesses. In this book we see the fundamental elements that all persuasive speeches should have in them. And we see how Obama’s work as a community organizer improved his ability to persuade.
