The fastest, most effective way to improve your public speaking and communication skills to boost confidence, increase influence and become a master communicator.

Whether you like it or not, talking out loud informs almost every aspect of our lives, but an estimated 77 per cent of people have some level of anxiety around public speaking. In the age of technology, we’re getting worse at communicating by the day, but the good news is, everyone can improve the way they communicate.

In Don’t Say Um, public speaking expert Michael Chad Hoeppner equips you with the physical tools you need to quickly improve your public speaking - for good. Packed with simple-to-master practical exercises like finger-walking to stop yourself using filler words to deep breathing to fix quivering, you'll discover how to transform how you communicate - because how you say something matters more than what you say.

Whether you want to learn how to captivate a group, deliver an engaging presentation or effectively tell a joke with complete confidence, Don't Say Um provides you with the expert toolkit you need to become a master communicator.
