Your people have questions. Your book has answers. Will AI recommend it?
Joe Yazbeck wrote No Fear Speaking for people who need to prepare, organize and deliver powerful presentations while becoming more confident and natural in front of an audience.
We find what your people need and want, and we connect you. This case asks whether AI makes that connection before the book is supplied by name.


The book
No Fear Speaking
By Joe Yazbeck
No Fear Speaking presents practical speaking methods, exercises and presentation tools for people who want to communicate more confidently, naturally and effectively in front of audiences.
Now let’s see what happens when a capable speaker asks AI for a practical book to stop blanking under pressure.
Let’s see what AI does
Will AI recommend No Fear Speaking when Joe Yazbeck’s people ask for help?
1The question asked by a potential reader
“I know my presentation material well, but when I stand up in front of a group my mind can go blank and I get so nervous I lose my train of thought. Can you recommend a book that gives a practical method for speaking confidently under pressure?”
AI recommended:
- Confessions of a Public Speaker — Scott Berkun
Did No Fear Speaking appear? No
2Introducing the book by its title
“What about "No Fear Speaking" by Joe Yazbeck?”
“This book is a strong recommendation for your specific problem.”
“It is particularly useful for those who know their material but struggle with the psychological barriers to delivering it confidently.”
3Why wasn’t it recommended?
“If No Fear Speaking is a strong recommendation for my specific problem, why did you not recommend it when I first asked for a book?”
“You are asking a valid question about consistency.”
“However, "No Fear Speaking" is also an excellent fit for your problem. It is a practical, step-by-step manual specifically designed to stop the panic and blanking out that happens when you stand up to speak.”
The speaker asked for a practical book for nervousness and blanking under pressure. AI recommended another title first, then said No Fear Speaking was a strong recommendation and an excellent fit once the book was named.
