Do Present: How to Give a Talk and Be Heard. - Paperback

by Mark Shayler (Author)

Getting our voices heard can be a nerve-wracking and overwhelming task - particularly in a world where everyone seems to have something to say. The ability to present our ideas with confidence is now a coveted skill. Yet on stage, we become this other person: less funny, less engaging, less human. Mark Shayler draws on his own experience - from nervous speaker to charismatic compere - to guide you through the task of public speaking. He takes a deeper look at what's holding you back, and will help you to: o Find your voice and the confidence to share it o Learn how to tell stories, not just share data o Stand and move around the stage comfortably o Leave the audience informed, entertained and uplifted Giving a brilliant talk is not about following a method. It's not about rules. It's about understanding what you want the audience to think, feel and do afterwards. Ultimately, it's about being more you.
