Give Great Presentations: How to speak confidently and make your point

Essential reading for anyone who has been asked to make a presentation, including advice on speech, using visuals, audience engagement, and how to deal with presenting online. Speaking in front of other people can be daunting if you've never had a lot of practice. Even if you know your stuff, it can be hard to get everything together in time, look confident, speak clearly, and get your message across well. And that's before you consider things like presenting online or hosting a Zoom conference. This practical book contains a self-assessment quiz, step-by-step guidance, top tips, common mistakes and advice on how to avoid them, summaries of key points, and lists of the best sources of further help. At the same time, it comes with strategies to help you cope if things don't go to plan, and special sections on how to manage nerves and boost your message with your body language. Give Great Presentations is full of advice on how to prepare and deliver a knock-out speech - whether that's in person and in front of colleagues, or online with an audience of 'virtual' strangers.
