The author of this book stuttered severely until he was 30 years old. It’s hard to believe if you listen to how he speaks now: clearly, confidently, without the slightest hesitation. Alexey Slobodyanyuk’s own method of developing speech intelligence helped him master the art of beautiful speech. She not only saved him from stuttering, but also allowed him to make speech the basis of his profession. Alexey has been heading a consulting agency for many years, training managers at all levels and is among the top 25 Russian business trainers according to the Corporate Universities magazine. In his book, he explains what speech intelligence is, why some people have no problems with it since childhood, while others only dream of speaking well all their lives. The author shares his own approach to developing speech skills and gives a lot of specific exercises. The book is suitable both for people whose work is directly related to speaking - actors, teachers, announcers - and for those who need to pass the test of public speaking in the near future. For example, pass an oral exam, speak at a board of directors, or say a toast at an anniversary.
