“I had to give an oral presentation as part of my application into school and I was very nervous and kept making lots of mistakes. Then I read chapter 2 and 3 of “Excuse Me! Let Me Speak” because my mom was reviewing it and right away I realized three things I was doing wrong. I went through all the exercises, and in less than a week I had my speech prepared and memorized. On the day I gave my presentation I felt relaxed and confident – and it showed, because I aced it! I learned skills that I will have now for the rest of my life and I am not afraid to speak up in any situation any more!”

We would like to share with you what people are saying about Excuse Me! Let Me Speak…A Young Persons Guide to Public Speaking on Amazon…
A Wonderful Reference Tool, September 27, 2009
Dyette-Welcome has put together a practical guidebook for teaching children to speak in public. She walks through steps that build a child’s esteem and overcomes practical objections with ease. The best part is those lessons can be applied to aduilt speakers as well! Think about not being afraid when facing your peers and being able to give that gift to the children in your life! What a wonderful resource!
My copy was picked up as an intended gift for my god-daughter who is not shy – but has trouble organizing her thoughts in front of a group. Of course, I had to read through it first and I’m so glad I did because I learned things that I needed to know. Not just for her but for myself! This tool is one I have recommend to my church’s youth group and every teacher I know. There are certain tools we all want our children to have and this book is one of them.
So my copy has gone to the youth group – but the next one’s for my lovely god daughter!

A must have for young speakers., September 23, 2009
The number 1 fear in most adults today is the fear of speaking in public. This is no different for our children. “Excuse Me! Let Me Speak…“ by Michelle J. Dyett-Welcome, is an excellent guide to help conquer this fear and empower our children to stand up and speaker in front of an audience. The book covers topics such as eye contact, movement, and breathing. The book also includes practice worksheets and suggestions of well known stories to use as speech topics.
I would highly recommend the book for every child. Learning appropriate public speaking skills early in life will make children better prepared for challenges they will face as adults.
