Presenting with Impact

Never let people walk away from your presentations thinking that they could have been better employed. Too often, speakers or presenters give the impression that they are ill-prepared, badly briefed, scared to their boots and simply wishing that they were somewhere else. If people ever think that of you, then you need this book. John McConnell's own masterclasses lead presenters towards the goal of keeping the audience fully involved and making sure that the message is fully understood. This book is firmly based on the structures and patterns of those classes and can be used to guide the reader to making expert and brilliant presentations, or can equally be used as a powerful framework for group learning and practice. Practical and inventive exercises cover such areas as: Organising the content; Gaining rapport with an audience; Dealing effectively with stress; Presentation tips and techniques; Handling awkward situations
