Book Description

November 2002 Knock'em Dead Business Presentations
Take Your Career to the Next Level with the New York Times bestselling Knock ‘em Dead series!

For more than a decade, Knock ‘em Dead has been the first, middle, and last word for job seekers on navigating a competitive, and often cutthroat, job market. Praised by BusinessWeek for its comprehensive content and "fast-paced, upbeat" style, the Knock ‘em Dead series has helped over 3 million readers ace the interview and seal the deal.

However, Knock ‘em Dead knows it’s not just about getting the job—it’s about managing a career. The ability to present authoritatively is critical—and often required—to succeed in the career arena. In today’s business environment, a "presentation" is not limited to a speech at the annual meeting—trade shows, product launches, media inquiries, phone calls, interviews, and even performance appraisals are all considered business presentations.

Knock ‘em Dead Business Presentations includes information on:

· Researching your presentation

· Finding the "magic bullets" that will capture your audience’s attention

· Effectively using visual aids to make a point

· Crucial preparation points that shouldn’t be ignored

· Audience involvement techniques

· Combatting speech anxiety

· Making the most of nontraditional speaking venues

· Using presentations to build professional recognition

Knock ‘em Dead Business Presentations gives you the tools you need to make a dynamic impression.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!, December 16, 2002
This review is from: Knock 'em Dead Business Presentations (Paperback)
Career management expert Martin Yate and finance whiz Peter Sander have assembled a dandy handbook on making effective presentations. After pointing out the value of developing this key career skill, they focus on how to prepare a good speech. They go from identifying your audience, to determining how best to deliver information, to being ready to be hot stuff at the podium. Similar books have explained these steps before, but the authors couldn't offer their meatier advice without beginning with the basics. Familiar instructions include researching your audience and topic, being yourself and using effective communications techniques. The more distinctive information covers turning your talk into a kind of conversation with the audience, employing audio visual aids effectively and adopting proper stage dress and manners. Though the material is familiar, we from getAbstract appreciate this well-organized, clear presentation and suggests that beginning speakers might want to walk this way before stepping up to the microphone.
