"I was thrilled when Maria Lynn Johnson reached out to invite me to be part of this project. She heard me deliver a webinar about the three best ways to get booked on more live and virtual stages, even if no one knows your name yet, and she said my content would add a lot of value to her new book. I was happy to pay it forward by recommending a colleague to be interviewed, too. Bill Stainton's recent TEDx talk on how to be a more creative person is on its way to reaching many thousands of new viewers, and his impact from the stage is powerful," Juetten said.

Six-time Emmy Award Winner John Gross says this about this book, "If one wants to be a professional speaker, or just wants to be able to give a talk, this book is like a personal one-on-one coaching from some of the best speakers in the world. The speakers share tips that will help one avoid the mistakes they made, help inspire, and help take one to a new level in half the time. It demonstrates how to reach an audience, talk from the heart, and be a better speaker."
Here are among the short tips from several of the authors to showcase the practical wisdom and inspiration within the book.
• After all the money and everything else is gone, the only thing that speakers remember is the shine or sparkle in the face of the listener. Brian Tracy • Speakers can really have a crisis of confidence if all they're looking for is the applause. Barbara Churchill • When speakers look people in the eye, and speak their name, truth and hope into them, it will change their lives. Annie Meehan • Each talk doesn't have to be letter perfect. The audience doesn't care if speakers make a mistake. Bill Stainton • For someone to be truly successful, they need to align their skills and passion in the marketplace in a way that serves the world. Scott Schwefel • Speakers should practice often to satisfy themselves they they know this, they've got this, and they can do it. Nancy Juetten • Speakers really want to deliver an experience, and to do that, they need to let go of the fear. Kristen Brown
Maria Lynn Johnson will donate 10% of all proceeds from the book to "The Mission Continues." This organization empowers veterans who are adjusting to life at home to find purpose through community impact.
