Presence by Patsy Rodenburg. Excellent, with lots of insights and exercises and new ways to think about speech and direction of attention. Written for self help.
I couldn't disagree more with her idea of 'energy' which permeats the book but if I substitute 'attention', 'enthusiasm', 'engagement', then it is fine. She has an unrivalled experience of speech coaching all sorts of people. Check out her website.
I have previously recommended the tapes of 'Right to Speak'. She has a nice voice!
Maybe use the book as a framework for self - help groups?
