New Book on How to Become an Expert Public Speaker

BY: .

Ignition: 3 Steps to Drive from Newbie Presenter to Expert Speaker is a new book by business coach leadership consultant and UKZN alumnus Dineshrie Pillay which takes readers on a journey aimed at “unleashing the public speaker in them”.

Pillay says readers will learn how to overcome any fear they may have of public speaking and regain self-confidence while using the power of words to influence, impact and inspire those around them.

Durban-born Pillay, who now lives in Johannesburg, used the months of lockdown to complete the 341-page book whichis available on Amazon Kindle and Amazon Print on Demand at a cost of R425 (including Vat). Those living in South Africa can order a signed copy of the book directly from Pillay’s website - https://dineshriepillay.com/product/ignition/ - and it will be delivered.

The book contains a step-by-step approach starting from a “newbie presenter” and progressing to an advanced or expert speaker. There are detailed exercises, illustrations and action steps for every stage of the journey.

Said Pillay: ‘I believe that speaking is an art that can be learned, not a privilege afforded to an elite few. We are all entitled to use our voices to become agents of change in our personal lives, careers and societies. The key to achieving this is to believe that, within you, is a speaker waiting to be ignited.’

Pillay is a qualified CA (SA), FCMA, Distinguished Toastmaster and Associate Coach registered with the International Coach Federation. Being technically trained, Pillay realised early in her own career the importance of communication, presentations and the art of persuasion. She combines her experience, qualifications and gift of teaching to create this powerful go-to guide to help ignite the speaker within people.

Champion public speaker Mr Mark Brown, who boasts the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation from the National Speakers Association, said: ‘Ignition is highly detailed and precise, and it contains activities, exercises, charts, graphs and photographs to give readers a clear understanding of every principle Dineshrie teaches. The book is the “go-to” resource for anyone wanting to achieve the highest levels of presentation proficiency.’
