Full Description
Present with Power, Poise, and Confidence---In Any Environment, Live or Virtual
To succeed, leaders must deliver powerful presentations at every opportunity: speeches, fireside chats, briefings, pitches, virtual meetings, videoconferences, podcasts, and beyond. Whether you are in front of a live audience or a webcam, the way you present yourself verbally and non-verbally is crucial to your success. Top presentation coach Jerry Weissman gives you the same battle-tested techniques, styles, and strategies he has provided to senior executives at thousands of companies. His proven methodology has enabled presenters to attract investors, sell products, propose partnerships, and get high-stakes projects approved. You will follow a step-by-step plan to shape your content, control your nerves, master your body language, integrate your graphics with your delivery, and much more.
The Power Presenter is packed with proven techniques, practical tools, and case studies of famous power presenters -- including many business leaders new to this edition. It will help you engage any audience from start to finish and deliver persuasive presentations when it counts most.
