Best Novel for Public Speakers
ByOg Mandino, one of the most popular authors of all-time, wrote one of his last books about a fictional thought-leader/public speaker. Bill Gove, Og Mandino’s speaking coach and mentor, told me back in 1996 that I had to read this book. As usual, Bill was right. I’ve never forgotten this book. It’s a must-read for every public speaker. Watch this short video post for details. Steve Siebold

Steve:
Thanks so much for making me aware of the Spellbinder’s Gift by Og Mandino. The term “Spellbinder” has been on my mind for a number of years after I was told by a college professor that I acted as if I wanted to be a “Spellbinder.” I had no idea that he was referring to public speaking. Thank you.
I couldn’t agree more! This is one of the books I read EVERY year. Anyone looking to improve their ability to influence others needs to read, The Spellbinder’s Gift.
What an exquisite tribute to Bill Gove in a fictional form. So many techniques from his Speech Workshop are highlighted in this book. Also lessons about the business of being a professional speaker. And life lessons as an added bonus! Thanks for the recommendation, Steve.
