Cossolotto – aka The Podium Pro – is a former speechwriter for top NATO officials, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, the Chancellor of UCLA, and senior executives of Fortune 100 corporations. Maincrest Media's judges praised his book for being "well thought-out and well-researched," for presenting "new, original ideas," and for having a "logical progression… [and] a strong, unifying theme which adds coherence and clarity to the book."
CLEVELAND & BRUSSELS - BostonChron -- Author and speaker Matthew Cossolotto – aka The Podium Pro – announced today that his book, The Joy of Public Speaking: Find Your Voice and Reach Your Peak Potential, won a 2024 Maincrest Media Book Award in the Business Communications/PR Category.
Maincrest Media's judges praised Cossolotto's book for being "well thought-out and well-researched," for presenting "new, original ideas," and for having a "logical progression… [and] a strong, unifying theme which adds coherence and clarity to the book." The judges also commended "the author's word choice, sentence fluency, voice and tone," and stated that the book's target audience is "clear and the contents of the book is in line with other highly regarded books in its genre."
"This is exciting news," commented Cossolotto. "It's truly unfortunate that so many people rank public speaking as one of their top fears. My book embraces a simple proposition: People who learn to enjoy public speaking tend to be better at it than those hobbled by anxiety, trepidation, or outright terror. So my mission is to help millions of people around the world overcome those fears and move from stage fright to stage delight. I want to thank Maincrest Media for exposing more people to the book's important messages about speaking success and personal empowerment."
