Presenting To Win
January 20, 2009
It has got to stop. The average business presentation made in the English-speaking world today is woeful and we just cannot go on this way. It is little wonder then that when graduates find themselves in business, they struggle to make themselves understood.
The trouble is, many people delude themselves about their real abilities. The trouble with business is that everyone knows how to drink, therefore everyone thinks they know how to run a pub. It is the same with speaking. The ability to open one’s mouth and talk does not automatically mean that one is a brilliant speaker.
Sadly, the evidence of this lack of ability is there to be seen. And it often manifests itself in disaster. Oh, how one’s heart sinks when a clearly ill-prepared presenter arrives to speak with a huge pile of overheads! Often they compound the issue either by apologizing for not being the right person to make the presentation or by confessing that due to pressure of work, they have had “little time to prepare”.
This book takes the mystique out of presentation. It is designed for those who know they need to present more effectively. Whether you make presentations every day or have never presented in your life but know the fateful day is coming, this book is for you. But what about your time? We all know that presentations are hugely time-consuming, even if you have some idea about what it is you want to say. This book will actually save you time. How long will it take to improve? With a little application, you can use the information to good effect and become a stunning speaker in just six weeks!
You are about to break the final frontier in business – that of effective spoken communication.
