Book excerpt: Public Speaking for Criminal Justice Professionals: A Manner of Speaking is a one-of-a-kind public speaking guide specifically written for criminal justice professionals, written by a criminal justice professional. Author Thomas Mauriello has worked his entire professional career both as a practitioner and as an educator in the fields of criminal justice and forensic science. This book outlines the public speaking skills he has learned, used, and taught to thousands of criminal justice, forensic science, security, and counterintelligence professionals over the years. The book can either be read from cover-to-cover—to fine tune the reader’s existing oral communication skills—or read in a modular fashion, as a reference guide to focus on certain skills and techniques. A list of over 55 proven, effective presentation tools will be listed, discussed, and demonstrated throughout the book—using illustrated criminal justice and forensic sciences topic examples. Contrary to popular believe, simply knowing your subject or being an expert in the subject does not guarantee a successful presentation. Aristotle, who many recognize as the Father of Public Speaking and Forensic Debate, said it best when he declared, "It is not enough to know what to say, one must know how to say it." This guide focuses on technique and the recognition that a speaker must have of both the subject and the listener. The purpose is to improve readers' skill level and ability to engage and, thereby, inform the listener. Whether preparing to speak to one person, or one thousand people, Public Speaking for Criminal Justice Professionals provides specific techniques for professionals to speaking with confidence, and present effective engaging presentations.

Book excerpt: How does the thought of standing in front of a large - or maybe small - group of people make you feel? Standing before them, preparing to give your speech, knowing that all eyes are on you, watching your every move? Are you nervous, or are you perhaps anxious - feeling like you can't breathe? For a lot of people, public speaking is not something that comes naturally, and difficulty in breathing during a speech is just one of the many factors that they need to contend with. Shortness of breath or feeling like you do not have enough power behind your voice to project or create enough of an impact does not come down to just nerves alone. Of course, if you are nervous, it is going to make it harder to concentrate on your breathing-but even if you are not someone who's prone to stage fight, you could still struggle with the power of projection. Speakers need to be loud and clear enough that the audience in the back of the room can hear them as if they were standing close by.So, you want to be a great public speaker? I'm sure people will have told you that great speakers are born, not made, and it is difficult not to believe that it's true. When you watch the best speakers they look comfortable, confident and natural in front of an audience, on the other hand, you don't feel confident on stage at all! You usually feel so nervous that you're drenched in sweat just at the thought of your next presentation.Public speaking is about more than just the words you say and the way that you are saying them. Giving a speech is an opportunity to build, foster, strengthen, and even explore new relationships that may lead to even greater opportunities. Public speaking only seems terrifying because we feel like we're going through it alone-but you are not alone. Your audience is there with you, and when you can connect with them, it creates a sense of belonging. Instead of thinking about it as having to present to a room full of strangers, talk to your audience as though you were talking to a friend. Another rule to improving and mastering your public speaking abilities once and for all is to let go of the past. Think of this stage as your rebirth. You're about to become a whole new person, wiser, more emotionally intelligent, and someone who's going to eventually develop the confidence you need to stand in front of a crowd when you must. Let go of the past experiences you have had with public speaking, especially if they have been unpleasant. Like a snake, you are going to have to shed your old skin, leaving your past behind and embracing this new version of yourself. This book gives a comprehensive guide on the following: Gaining Confidence Prepping Your Mind, Body, Soul, and Voice The Importance of Good Communication The Body - Standing and Gestures Getting Over the Stage Fright Hump 10 Simple Methods to Public Speaking Mastery Creating a Positive Perception The Most Common Communication Obstacles How to Have Unique and Memorable Conversations Looking The Part Empathy- Discuss How Empathy Helps With Improving Social Skills The Art of Persuasion Are you ready to start the walk?
