This review is from: How to Be an Effective Speaker (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me by a colleague when I was asked to do a presentation at work. Expecting a book with a lot of jargon or unlikely examples, I was pleasantly surprised.Ms. Stuart gives specific examples so that you know exactly what she means, and you, the reader, will know that the steps she talks of are doable. From the preparation to delivery, she covers the whole gamut. Towards the end of the book, she discusses humor, which is helpful, but she also discusses talking to the media, which sounds great (but I really don't know when I would use it). The use of visual aids and scripts are covered. I have recommended this book to students and coworkers. I would recommend keeping a copy for personal reference.
