I totally recomend dale carnegie as well. that book should be taught as cirriculum to every kid in the world.
also Practice makes perfect, and definately in the world of public speaking.
(a camera in the privacy of a room where you practice presentations help you review and impove exponentially!)
But that's technique of speaking, you still have to master body language which accounts for 60% of what and how you communicate to other people.
Confidence will show instantly. Remember - what do you have to lose? nothing of great value. If you're worried about stuff, maybe you should pick up another carnegie classic - "how to stop worrying and start living". Amazing book that has strategies on being calm and letting go of worries.
