The popularity of the TED talk has raised the bar for public speaking and presentations. Audiences expect to be educated, inspired and engaged whether they are sitting in a conference room or an auditorium. Yet too often presenters lack the skills to take command and deliver persuasive and entertaining pitches and presentations. The audience is the hero of the story and the presenter is their guide to take them on a journey. Like a one act play, a presentation is not a meeting, it’s a performance. And it is the job of the presenter to respect the audiences’ wishes, wants and needs. With the advent of smartphone, the job of the presenter to keep the audience’s attention on them rather than on the tiny device in their hand has become increasingly more difficult. The purpose of this book is to inspire you to take the next step in your presentation skills and practice.
A good presentation involves effective communication and is essential for business success. This guide addresses the common problems people face--overcoming nerves, handling visual aids, and shaping the presentation itself.
