Welcome to Public Speaking & Presentations For Dummies, a book that we intend to help you
have audiences eating out of the palms of your hands. We show you how to use basic speaking
skills to influence your boss, colleagues, customers, relatives, loved ones, butcher, baker,
candlestick maker, and anyone else who matters in your life.
This book provides all the tools you need to master giving presentations and speaking in
public. And that doesn't mean just formal presentations. Some of the most important
presentations you ever give may not involve a microphone or a podium, like an impromptu talk
about your strategy to some customers; an answer that defuses a hostile question at a business
meeting; an impassioned plea to a parking attendant not to issue the ticket. Success or failure
in all of these situations, as well as in formal speeches, depends on how you present yourself.
This book covers the full range of skills needed for presenting and public speaking. You can
read everything from how to develop and deliver a good presentation to how to think on your
feet. An old philosopher once said, 'Even7 time you open your mouth, your mind is on parade.
This book ensures that your parade looks sharp, sounds smart, and dazzles your audience. |
