Giving Successful Presentations: A Personal Guide
by Sorin Dumitrascu
Some people think that those who present successfully possess a special gift or flair that others do not have. This is not true.
Successful presenters are made, not born. They have all learned good presentation skills and techniques and then honed them through practice. You can do the same.
This book explains that, though there are different basic types of presentation, every presentation you make involves four important components: the skill of the presenter, your audience, the venue, your message.
In this book, you will discover how these four elements must interact to produce a presentation that you can be proud of.
You will also find out how to: meet the needs of the audience and venue, prepare and structure your presentation, conquer your nerves.
As with anything else, presentations are built from the bottom up. This book will give you a solid foundation of knowledge and skills, so that you can plan and construct presentations that get your messages across successfully.
You have a presentation to give. You have prepared and rehearsed it. Great. But when you stand up in front of your audience members, they're interested in your delivery, not your preparation.
The challenge now is to powerfully deliver your presentation so that you do justice to your message and yourself.
This book is about getting your message across as well as you possibly can, and the techniques you need to do that.
In essence, good presentation delivery requires three things. You need to: create a good first impression, hold the audience's attention from start to finish, ensure that the presentation is memorable.
Delivering your presentation in a way that does justice to your message can seem daunting, but it's not. This book teaches you the simple techniques you need to look, and sound, good from the moment you begin speaking.
You'll learn how to hold your audience's attention, and how to make sure your presentation stands out from the crowd so that people remember it.
The thought of speaking in public is a frightening prospect for many people--it seems like a lonely situation. But of book, this is absolutely not true. When you speak in public, you are not alone. You can call on powerful resources. And you should be prepared to do so.
