This clear and succinct business guide is both easy to read and jam-packed with relevant, useful, and practical tips arising from thirty years of experience helping business owners succeed in their businesses.

Donna has ditched the fluff and theory surrounding business and just gets on with giving the reader tried-and-true ideas, suggestions, and tips they can implement in their business from day one.

This book is a wake-up call for everyone to stand up against poverty in the world. Poverty can be eliminated, if not kept in check effectively. To achieve real development, the people must see his interest and made to realize that he is the master of his country’s development, so that government can go ahead in uniting all the people’s effort and contribution. They will in return receive a significant part of the national heritage for life and a share in the national income as part of his right. To satisfy everyone, to get the economy moving, any country that is putting this plan in action will need to build between two hundred and five hundred new cities to shelter the new generation. This means demand for all household items, construction materials, utilities, and communication articles are going to be huge to try to pin a tab on such undertaking. We should not delay to put this plan in motion, before those multinational monopolizers expropriate the masses by grabbing resources all over the world.

The book is written to emphasize the importance of having a purpose in one’s life. Life, after all, must be led happily and having a purposeful life ensures happiness. The current unrest and gloom in the society are because of the fact that people do not have definite goals in life. The mind, by nature, is negative and requires conscious effort to turn positive. A strong purpose in life engages the mind constructively and turns it positive, thus bringing plenty of joy and happiness.

However, finding purpose in one’s life is not easy. It involves serious introspection, as questioning oneself is the only way to find it. But it is worth making an attempt as our self-esteem and happiness in life are directly linked to it. The book brings out the information about one’s natural abilities and explains how they have connections with one’s passion. So discovering either natural abilities or passion or both would eventually lead to the purpose of life. This book gives more insight into the relationship between them and describes how a strong purpose in life has the ability to make life joyful. The examples given in the book can help serious readers to find theirs.

All the people who made it big in life have used their inherent abilities and passion to bring success to themselves. This book captures their inspiring stories to make the readers aware of the potential of having a strong purpose in life.

These Coaching Moments were created over the first several years in my own business as a leadership coach. I decided to write one every week and share them with leaders around the world, knowing that if my Coaching Moment resonated with just one person, I was touching them through coaching and helping them to become a better leader. This is the whole reason I took the leap into my own business—to help one leader at a time be the best leader that they can be.

At certain times, a Coaching Moment has come from an actual conversation or top issue that one of my clients faced that week. At other times, Coaching Moments arose from situations that I observed throughout the course of my day. All of them are common challenges for leaders at all levels.

Let these Coaching Moments serve as weekly practices for you. Browse the book alphabetically by heading, and find the leadership topic that hits home for you this week. Or pick a Coaching Moment at random. Try practicing one tip per week.

Having this book alone takes you one step forward in your leadership. May these Coaching Moments raise your level of leadership and bring you success and joy, as these have for me to have written them.

As you practice each one, commit to enjoy a great week.

What’s the best way to calm the butterflies before you speak?
Should you open your speech with a joke or a story?
What should you do if you forget something important?
How do you overcome your fear of speaking to large and small groups?
Here, in an easy to access format, you’ll find techniques to create and deliver a speech for every occasion, overcome pre-speech nerves, avoid tripping over your tongue, and always look and feel like a Unique and Sexy Speaker.
You speak in public every day. Whether you’re giving a speech, having a conversation, saying your wedding vows, teaching your kids, exhorting your sales team, or talking in your sleep, if someone is listening, you have the opportunity to influence and to inspire.
Being influential and inspirational! That’s very sexy!

“As an international speaker with more than a dozen years of experience speaking to all kinds of audiences, I can say this is a truly useful collection of tips that can help any speaker rise to the next level. I've read many books for speakers, and this is the one I'd use right before I go on stage or as I fly to my next engagement to remind me of the basics and to get a good, positive outlook thanks to its bite-sized chunks of wisdom.”

—Dan Janal, publicity/marketing/thought leader, and president of PR LEADS. PLUS.com

“Secrets of a Unique & Sexy Speaker sets out the rules of speaking in clear, concise, and easy-to-follow steps that take the mystery and fear out of public speaking. This is an indispensable guide for anyone who wants to, or has to, stand before an audience to deliver a message.”

—Rona Arato, author of The Last Train, a Holocaust Story

“Lucky me! I read Secrets of a Unique & Sexy Speaker before two public appearances, one in front of a hundred or so businesspeople and the other before a board of eighteen. I chose several Speaking Tips to practice and test drive. While much of the book might have you nod in recognition, if you’re aware of your own ‘ticks’ and have received feedback about your speaking, you will—as I did—benefit enormously from consistently applying these techniques to help you improve. As Marion Claire points out, speaking is a mental as well as physical sport that requires preparation to achieve greater freedom of expression. Thank you, Marion, for your thorough, practical and encouraging guidance.”
