“Most people do not wish to become professional speakers!

They just want to be able to make a competent presentation once in a while!”

Who are these people? People who make their living selling, students who have to prepare presentations, women in all walks of life who want to assert themselves, older people who want to teach others about their life experience, entrepreneurs and business owners who would like to give workshops to promote their product or service, engineers or accountants who are called upon to solidify sales presentations, managers in government departments, and people who are involved with professional, community, condominium or other associations.

In fact, just about anyone who wants to communicate effectively to a group can learn how to do it better by applying the principles taught in this book.

If you are afraid to get up and be heard, you will find the solutions on how to overcome your fear in the section “The Power of Your Mind”. If you want to learn quickly how to write an effective speech, “Powerful Presentations” contains eight easy steps to prepare a speech. It also contains eight proven presentation secrets that will help to make you a competent speaker. When you follow the steps and learn those secrets, both you and your audience will benefit.

“Powerful Presentations” will help you understand that the basic objective of a speech is to provide sufficient information in a manner that will be clearly understood and can be acted upon by the audience. Presentation skills are the methods you may use to deliver the speech and make it memorable. You’ll learn how to project the appropriate personal and corporate image through improved presentation skills in Chapters Four, Five and Six, how to conduct meetings in Chapter Seven and how to prepare and deliver training sessions in the last chapter.

A wise man once said:

“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but, I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!”

I hope that, by studying and working with “Powerful Presentations” you will become one of a new breed of speakers who say what they mean, and mean what they say - - and do it briefly and to the point.

It is my sincere wish that you and your audience will get as much enjoyment out of your presentations as I have had writing “Powerful Presentations”!
