Ten Percent of Book Sales Will Support Humanitarian Relief in Ukraine
Cossolotto dedicated The Joy of Public Speaking to his former colleagues at NATO, the 30-member transatlantic alliance that was founded in 1949.

"With that dedication in mind," commented Cossolotto, "and in view of recent tragic events, I have been wondering what I – and my readers, students and clients – can do to help the people of Ukraine during the current crisis. I have decided to donate 10 percent of my book sales this year to humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine."

What Participants Will Learn in Cossolotto's PodiumPower! Workshops
Opinion surveys confirm that most people rank public speaking as one of their top fears, along with spiders, snakes, and death itself. Cossolotto's inspiring new book and workshops embrace a simple, commonsense proposition: People who learn to enjoy public speaking tend to be better at it than those hobbled by anxiety, trepidation, or outright terror.

Workshop participants will learn about these and other powerful concepts to propel them on their journey to joy:

• The Gentle Art of Mental Joyjitsu
• The Six Axioms of Personal Empowerment
• The Seven Steps to Joy
• The Power of SPEECH: The Six-Point Checklist for Powerful Presentations
