Everyone can use help developing presentation skills
19 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
Everyone will need to make a presentation speech at some time in their lives. Whether it is a formal business speech or an informal toast at a friend's wedding, knowing how to make a speech is a valuable skill to have available in any situation. This book is part of the Creating Success series. The chapters deal with developing topics, templates and content for a speech, how to use humor, how to utilize PowerPoint, manage your nervousness and the audience (including question and answer sessions, and when those question should be allowed to be asked). There are helpful tips and activities for the reader to try, and summaries of what to do for each stage of developing a presentation.
These tips apply to most formal professional presentations made in the context of a work scenario - but the strategies would apply to any situation where speaking in public is required. In the chapter on finding your inner voice, the author focuses on a research study (the Mehrabian study) which showed that over half of the speaker's ability to impact an audience is derived from her non-verbal cues or body language. This means that your voice as well as your action needs to portray a confident spirit so that this will be seen by the audience. How do people become confident when required to speak in public? Pre-recording your voice and making preparations ahead of time are the two obvious stand-bys to answer the confidence question. In that respect, much of the advice given in the book is standard fare for anyone interested in finding out how to speak in public or prepare the next speech.
If you are new to speech presenting you'll gain lots of insight by using the tips and strategies presented in the book. If you have been doing public speaking form many years already, you might benefit from looking over the techniques to make sure you have not developed any bad habits over the years in regard to your public speaking and presentation skills. I'd recommend this book for high school and college students who may need to do public speaking as a course requirement, or anyone new to presenting.
