Speaking before a group is one of the most daunting
experiences that we ever have to face. And yet we have all the skills necessary
to present, brilliantly, through our experience of conversations. The Natural
Presenter tells you how to harness this conversational energy and fluidity when
making a presentation. It covers:
- Structuring material so that it is easy and natural to
present
- Visual aids, graphs, pictures, visual reasoning, and
the use and misuse of PowerPoint
- The power of analogies, examples, demonstrations and
anecdotes to bridge the gap between speaker and audience, and to make your
talk interesting and memorable
- Application of principles to all presentation scenarios
This is the first complete presentation guide. It debunks many of the myths
of public speaking, and lays out a clear and practical path for anyone who needs
to present.
