Product Description
Product Description
Presenting information or data, whether it be one on one to your boss, or at an international conference to an audience of thousands, is very much part of modern business and academic life. But such occasions are feared by most people, and even people who are outwardly confident in their work can fall apart at the podium and give the most mediocre presentations simply through anxiety, nervousness and lack of preparation.
We have all watched great presenters in action and envied their talent for public speaking wishing we could do the same. What most people fail to realise is that these awe-inspiring presentation gurus suffer stage fright too but have overcome this through a variety of methods which are explored in this book. Central to their performance is a solid preparation for the event. Every slide has been designed with one aim in mind -- to enhance their talk and emphasise their key messages. They have done their homework, put together a presentation with a clear beginning, middle and end, and have not tried to dazzle the audience with fancy irrelevant graphics and gimmicky effects. The best presenters will use fairly simple slides which serve to complement the spoken presentation.
However, such techniques are not innate but are learned, and this book aims to show you that with effective preparation and good audiovisual aids your key messages will be presented with clarity. By keeping to time and answering questions smoothly, you can give an above-average presentation which will be memorable for the audience.
From the Publisher
Written in a jargon-free, easy-to-follow style with helpful graphics, the In Easy Steps books explain everything you need to know to develop your skill-set.

4.0 out of 5 stars
All you need for a great presentation in a nutshell,
By Geek Speaker "lunasa73" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Giving Great Presentations in Easy Steps (Paperback)
This has to be one of the better presentation skills books out there, not because it says anything new or radically different than the rest of the books but because of the way it puts the information together and delivers it to you.
There are a lot of presentation skills and public speaking books out there that are all text, black and white, with little or no pictures, they're not fun to read... This book is bright and colourful, filled with illustrations and covers everything you need to bring you from being a mere speaker to becoming a great speaker. Topics range from the foundations of a great presentation to slide design and knowing your audience. It also covers a lot techniques and forms of presentations (tele-conferencing, webcasts, Q&A) Who is this aimed at? This will be of the most use to someone who either hasn't read any books on presentations skills or has only read the boring black&white ones but anyone with a strong interest in presenting and presentation skills could learn something new from this book.
