Product Overview
Helping students speak in the classroom and the boardroom, THE SPEAKER'S HANDBOOK, 11e covers the entire process of preparing, organizing, developing, and delivering a speech-making it the ideal text for students taking a public speaking course as well as an excellent reference for experienced speakers. The handbook continues to offer thorough coverage of ethics, reasoning, analyzing audience, and diversity.

Features such as For Your Benefit equip students with valuable tips and advice, while Speaker's Workshop and Putting It into Practice activities give students plenty of hands-on application. New Learning Objectives and updated Checklists help students review what they've learned. In addition, the new MindTap for THE SPEAKER'S HANDBOOK delivers a personalized online learning experience for students-while enabling instructors to easily measure skills and outcomes.
