I’m excited to share some news I’ve been working on behind the scenes: my next book on public speaking and presentation skills is almost here.

If you’ve been following my work, you know I believe that public speaking isn’t just about giving talks. It’s about leading, selling, and inspiring in every room you step into. This new book takes that belief and puts it into a practical roadmap for professionals, leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs who want to speak with confidence, credibility, and impact.

In a recent episode of Walk and Talk with Dr. AZ, I previewed three core themes from the book. Here’s a sneak peek:

1. Platform Selling: Influence Without the Hard Sell

Selling from the stage, or what I call platform selling, is one of the most powerful skills you can develop. Unfortunately, many people either avoid it out of fear of sounding “too salesy” or they do it poorly and lose trust.

In the book, I break down how to:

  • Frame your message so the value is obvious

  • Make the buying decision easy and natural

  • Replace pressure with partnership by using the right language

When done well, platform selling isn’t about pushing. It’s about inviting. As Mark Cuban once said, “Make your product easier to buy than your competition, or you will find your customers buying from them, not you.”

2. Storytelling That Sticks

We don’t remember bullet points. We remember stories.

From boardrooms to TED stages, storytelling is what makes ideas stick. In the book, I share how to:

  • Structure stories with conflict, contrast, and resolution

  • Use metaphors and analogies that resonate with your audience

  • Build an emotional bridge so people not only understand but feel your message

I’ve coached scientists, executives, and founders on how to translate complex ideas into simple, relatable stories. The results are always the same: their audiences lean in, remember, and retell the message.

3. Vocal Delivery: Making Your Voice Work for You

Content is important, but delivery is king. A weak or monotone voice can kill even the best message. That’s why vocal delivery gets its own spotlight in this book.

You’ll learn practical techniques to:

  • Project confidence through volume and tone

  • Use pacing and pauses to keep attention

  • Avoid the traps of rushing, hesitating, or fading out

As communication coach Vinh Giang says: “You can still be shy. Just be louder.” Small adjustments in vocal delivery can completely transform how your audience perceives your authority and conviction.

Why This Book Matters

This isn’t just another book on “how to give a speech.” It’s a guide to mastering the high-impact skills that move people to listen, believe, and act. Whether you’re pitching investors, leading a team, or speaking to a room of strangers, these principles will help you command attention and create lasting influence.

I can’t wait to share the full book with you soon. In the meantime, keep following along. I’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes updates, excerpts, and speaking tips as we get closer to the official launch.

👉 Stay tuned. The best is yet to come.
