make listeners feel as though they are being addressed directly. The
trick is to make every presentation as natural and direct as a
one-on-one conversation. This expert but accessible guide reveals:
- The six truths behind every conversation-and how to use them at
the podium
- The three steps to inspiring any audience
- The seven secrets for using voice and body language
- The seven tools every speaker uses or misuses
Whether addressing a few colleagues or a packed auditorium, readers
will find practical and simple techniques for inspiring every
listener. It's a wonderful blend of solid concepts, practical
applications, and invaluable techniques. It takes the speaker from
the planning stage through to the execution stage of any
presentation. It addresses not only speaking in front of a crowd,
but also one on one and small group interactions.
