This book was prepared for Eliane, who wanted to do everything for herself. As a young person, Cameron was terrified of speaking in public so he taught himself to gain confidence. He focused on his own conversations as a starting point and made a commitment to work at it. Astonishingly, he ended up teaching public speaking for twelve years at a college. Throughout his twenty-three year career as a consultant, he gave seminars and workshops to people from all walks of life, often with more than a hundred in the audience.
