Speech Manuals

New members will receive membership kits containing the Communication and Leadership Program manual, aka the "Basic Manual", the Competent Leadership manual, and three other manuals: Your Speaking Voice, Effective Speech Evaluation, and Gestures: Your Body Speaks.

The New Basic Manual

The Old Basic Manual
The Communication and Leadership Program manual is designed to give new members a strong start in developing a core set of skills for public speaking. Each of the ten projects in this basic manual focusses on a certain aspect of speech making -- from organization to delivery.

The Advanced Manuals
Each of the manuals in the Advanced Communication and Leadership Program challenges members to further improve their skills in a specific area of public speaking. Some manuals focus on "real life" situations such as public relations and technical briefings, while others help develop more widely applicable skills such as humor and storytelling.
