Pocketbook of Presentation Excellence, (Paperback)

As a successful speaker and trainer, I really wanted to put pen to paper to record my speaking experiences over the last few years. I wanted to do this because I sought others to gain immediately from what I've learned since I began to speak and train for a living in 1990. It's a cliché that we learn by experience, making mistakes and absorb from these, getting valuable feedback from others and observing and learning from the very best in the job. It's true. This book could knock a few years off your development cycle. Chapters on handling nerves, planning your presentation, room layout, visual aids, story telling, owning the stage and body language contain countless tips and techniques to assist every presentation you make. Handling the dreaded Q&A will inspire you, starting and ending the presentation will help your message to be remembered and audience participation will allow you to keep their attention at all times.
