Summary
The power of an effective speech is undeniable. It has the capacity to engage, inform, motivate, and create change in an audience - and in the world. In this compelling 24-lesson course, How to Speak Effectively in Any Setting, taught by Molly Bishop Shadel, Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law, learn the fine art of speaking clearly, effectively, and persuasively in contexts across the spectrum, from the board room to the bar room and everywhere in between.
With an eye toward the role of ethos, pathos, and logos in effective writing and presentation, Professor Shadel helps you organize and construct a speech in ways that are different from what you might write for other purposes. Focusing on timing and environment in audience experience, you will learn to structure and deliver speeches that your audience can easily follow. Practice, preparation, and some tricks from the actor’s bag of tricks will support great vocal presentation with equally skilled physicality.
Whether you are expected to deliver a eulogy, a wedding toast, a commencement speech, or a formal workplace presentation, advice and direction from Professor Shadel will guide you to success. Learn the underpinnings of effective speech writing and skilled delivery in settings both personal and professional, providing you the tools needed to appear confident and competent during all your public speaking experiences. Finish the course with a new understanding of context, occasion, purpose, and audience, prepared to craft and deliver discourse for any occasion and every situation.

Actionable classes for public speaking
My background:
Introvert that does not enjoy public speaking and therefore seeks out learning material to improve.
Description
Molly Bishop Shadel is a lawyer and professor that teaches public speaking. The lessons are clearly structured, actionable and the tone encouraging.
Concerns
- The sound quality was not pristine. Not bad enough that it in any way inhibits the ability to follow the material, but the recording is not studio quality.
- Sometimes the examples lean a bit much to situations a lawyer would be in. The author also brings in many other types of examples, but it shows that the usual target audience of her courses are young law students.
Strengths
- There is a huge wealth of knowledge, experience and inspiration in this book. It will be rewarding to both people who need to use public speaking in their everyday lives, but also people like me who just want tools to feel more confident for the times when they DO have to speak publicly.
- The advice is concrete, plentiful and actionable
- The book is well structured. The book is fundamentally about communicating better and the skill of the teacher shows from her own structuring and narration.
Conclusion
If you want more tools to address public speaking this book is a great holistic introduction to how to do this well.

Relevance and clarity.
This is a muscular performance by someone who is a master of her profession. She oozes hard won experience and her work ethic is palpable. Her clarity of presentation is outstanding and the content is bot edifying and inspiring.
