()
About this ebook
to tickle the tongue.
Packed with passion, power and pride, they’re perfect for polishing presentations.
Every speaker wishes to be understood, and these tongue-twisters are not only a curious challenge but also an invaluable tool and resource for anyone wanting to improve the clarity of their speech.
Eccentric, practical and enormous fun, there is no other book quite like this collection of more than 300 original diction-difficult phrases, designed to sharpen your vocal performance, created by the author using contemporary corporate language and idioms.
A speech, a sales pitch or an announcement can read well on the page but can prove hard to enunciate when spoken aloud.

With clarity comes confidence.
With confidence comes powerful communication.
