"FINALLY A BOOK THAT ANSWERS YOUR MOST BURNING QUESTIONS ABOUT
BECOMING A POPULAR AND RESPECTED PUBLIC SPEAKER..."
"SOME OF THE ANSWERS MAY SHOCK YOU!"
"BUT HANG TIGHT BECAUSE THE SECRETS YOU ARE ABOUT TO DISCOVER WILL
MAKE YOU "THE STAR" OF YOUR NEXT PRESENTATION - GUARANTEED"
From the cue cards of Eric Feng
DEAR FRUSTRATED PUBLIC SPEAKER-TO-BE,
My name is Eric Feng and I am one-half of The FAQ Guys. My partner
Andrew Zhan is the other half. And here's a newspaper clipping to give
you a better picture.
That's Andrew and me looking constipated (grins) on Singapore's
Business Times
So you might be thinking, who are these FAQ guys anyway? Before I
continue, I believe I need to give you some background on how the name
came about.
You see, I was having coffee with Andrew at Starbucks one day and he
dropped me this question
"If you get to spend one hour with world class speakers for a
one-on-one, personal consultation for public speaking from each of
them, what would you ask?"
Lots and lots of questions...
I thought about it and an idea popped up in my head. "WHAT IF WE
ASKED OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE EQUALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR PUBLIC
SPEAKING JOURNEY?"
So we tried that and to our surprise, truckloads of questions after
questions came pouring in from you guys. Apparently, even though with
so many public speaking books out there, THERE ARE STILL LOTS OF
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS IN YOUR MINDS. Questions include...
*
HOW TO MAKE YOUR SPEECH INTERESTING, IMPRESSIONABLE AND IMPACTFUL?
*
Are there times when the audience does not react or respond the way
you want them to? How do you salvage the situation when you fail on
stage?
*
HOW DO I KICK FEAR AND INSECURITY OUT OF MYSELF WHEN GIVING A
SPEECH?
*
I'm often distracted by thoughts of not being good enough to be "up
there" talking. I lack confidence on stage. What can you advise me to
do?
*
WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU GIVE TO A NOVICE SPEAKER?
*
How do we discover our own style of speaking? One that we can claim
as our own
*
HOW DO YOU "BE YOURSELF" TO THE AUDIENCE? We all heard that so many
times but how EXACTLY do you do it.
*
WHAT ARE ALL THE WAYS TO DRAW THE AUDIENCE INTO YOUR SPEECH, HENCE
CONNECTING WITH THEM?
*
Could a person with a poor command of English be able to speak well
like other people do?
*
WHEN I GIVE A PRESENTATION, I WILL SWITCH TO "PRESENTATION MODE". I
become monotonous, lifeless...It's a subconscious habit now. It's so
hard to change...How do I change * and much, much more!

WHY MOST PEOPLE FAIL IN PUBLIC SPEAKING AND WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW TO
AVOID ENDING UP INTO THAT PITFALL
Andrew pointed out something about public speaking books out there
which you might relate to. "I have friends who read tons of public
speaking books but they never attain the success they wanted."
WELL, THAT\'S BECAUSE THOSE BOOKS ARE USELESS! They only...
*
Make you more confused
*
Give you stuff that are so DUH! (Tips like "You must speak with
confidence"... Roar... If I have confidence, I wouldn't be reading
about public speaking...)
*
Make you browse through 137 pages before finding a paragraph that
answers to your questions
*
After you've found that paragraph... ALAS! IT IS NOT ELABORATED.
You don't need step 1 to 10 and you don't need to know the A to Z of
public speaking. You just want someone to answer all your burning
questions on public speaking. ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT TRULY MATTER.
"Let's give the audience what they really need," I said.
"Yes, and let's invite not just one, but 3 TOP NOTCH SPEAKERS [2]
INCLUDING YOURSELF TO ANSWER THE TOP MOST BURNING, NAGGING QUESTIONS
PEOPLE HAVE ON PUBLIC SPEAKING" Andrew suggested.
"Because points are too conceptual. How about you hearing it from
people who have asked similar questions, did a lot of trial and error
and found some WORKABLE ANSWERS that have been tested on a REAL
AUDIENCE? Now that's something you don't find in your bookstores"
And viola! We began to work secretly on our project. To find the
answers that you need to public speaking so you could stop floundering
in the sea of information.
So without any further ado...
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PRESENTING...THE FAQ BOOK ON PUBLIC SPEAKING!
And we decided to call ourselves THE FAQ GUYS because we see
ourselves as the people to turn to whenever you need some help to your
questions. We don't have all the answers but we know where to find
them.
SO, ANDREW AND I WENT ON THE HUNT FOR THE ANSWERS TO PUBLIC SPEAKING
EXCELLENCE. We looked for 2 real successful speakers in each of their
field and demanded them to spill the beans behind their successes so
you can learn from them and become a phenomenal speaker yourself.
WE DRAINED THEIR BRAIN OF EVERY LAST TIP, TACTIC AND TECHNIQUE FOR
CRAFTING AND DELIVERING SUCCESSFUL SPEECHES and you'll get to devour
them all when you own your copy of this book.
The media is very interested in the book too. Here's The FAQ Book on

"A LOT MORE USEFUL CONTENT THAN MOST OF THE E-BOOKS I READ"
A thorough look at public speaking. This is an excellent guidebook
which is SOLID and CONTAINS A LOT OF CONTENT. Eric and Kelvin address
the questions facing BOTH BEGINNERS AND EXPERTS. I particularly liked
the 80/20 rule of memorization.
The FAQ Book on Public Speaking actually has useful content which is
a lot more than can be said for most of the e-books I read. You have
great experience and it translates in being able to handle the content
well.
