From the Inside Flap

For the inspiration to write this book, I owe much to the many speakers who:

• Don't write their own Introduction.
• Write their own Introduction, but poorly so.
• Don't have a Strong Opening to their Presentations.
• Don't have great Content.
• Have great Content, but don't Deliver it Well.
• Take Questions after Closing their talk.
• Have non-memorable Closings.
• Deliver Nonverbal Communication that is not in sync with their Verbal Communication.
• Who use line after line after line of bullet points in a slide presentation, and read each of them to their audience.
• Who use slides with a font so small it can't be read.
• Use props incorrectly.
• Distribute handouts before they speak so the audience can read with the speaker, behind the speaker, and ahead of the speaker.
• Use "ahhs" and "errs" and other fillers when they should be pausing and making no sounds.

If it were not for having done many of these things myself, multiple times, and seeing so many others do the same, I might not have written this book.

It pains me that I didn't know better. Many others don't know how to present their ideas.

I know there are tens of thousands of presentations, with great content for target audiences that were delivered in a way that made it almost impossible for the audience to understand and process the message. The reason for this unfortunate fact is that the speaker didn't possess the presentation skills necessary to convey their message. It's frustrating to the audience and the presenter.

I believe there are thousands of presentations, with superb content that would benefit specific audiences, yet have never been presented. They've never been delivered because of the Fear of Public Speaking. This is unfortunate. Their great information is never disseminated and a person's career is often held back because of this fear.

Presentation skills can be learned!

The Fear of Public Speaking can be overcome.

If fear or lack of skills is holding your back from reaching your goals, this book will help!
