The twenty-four half-hour programs of
Speaking with Confidence describe and illustrate a wide variety of speech communication concepts and are keyed to the highly successful sixth edition of
Confidence in Public Speaking by Nelson and Pearson. All of the lessons combine the following elements: speech professionals, examples of famous speakers from business, education, the arts and government, and student speeches. Speaking with Confidence is a combination of classical rhetorical theory blended with current research in human communication and social psychology. This approach has been proven successful in hundreds of public speaking classes across the country.
