From a top-notch professional speaker who has taught thousands of corporate personnel, military officers, and college students how to speak effectively, comes a text that's interesting, engaging, and filled with exercises and examples. Chapters on using humor, visual support, and presentational skills and strategies set this book apart from any other on the market.


Features

  • A practical approach–Emphasizes what works; not padded with theory and ideas.

    • Gives students the tools they need to communicate effectively and efficiently.

  • A professional's point of view–Written by a noted professional speaker with a Ph.D. in public speaking, this text focuses on the importance of this topic.

    • Provides students with public speaking ability, a trait that will prove invaluable in their future careers.

  • Individual and group exercises with a focus–Scattered throughout the book, these center on organizing a speech, collecting humorous stories, using the voice effectively, constructing visual aids, and much more.

    • Enables students to practice and learn concepts of preparation and presentation as they read about them.

  • Outstanding coverage of supporting material–Clarifying support, proof support, humorous support, and visual support; supporting material sets apart good talks from poor ones.

    • Enables students to see clearly how to use supporting material effectively in their own presentations.

  • Emphasis on both presentational strategies and skills–Emphasizes extemporaneous speaking, yet gives outstanding treatment of manuscript speaking.

    • Provides students with practical advice and lists on handling an audience, controlling nervousness, conducting question and answer sessions, and more.
