Book Description

August 1994
How do you land your dream job? Earn a reputation as an expert in your field? Or build a profitable business? Whatever your ambitions, you can't hope for success unless you know how to "sell" yourself.

In today's fast-paced world, where professional and personal lives often intersect, you must get off on the right foot by projecting a confident image and effectively expressing your objectives. Prominent speaker and media trainer Joyce Newman and award-winning sales representative Kathy Thebo have joined forces for "Selling Yourself," an inspirational primer for creating a more powerful impact.

Drawing upon their own experience, as well as extensive research, the authors share tried-and-true techniques for:

* Conquering stage fright and overcoming the #1 fear -- public speaking;

* Assessing your personal style;

* Cultivating charisma -- and why appearance isn't nearly as important as your ability to create a "presence";

* Mastering the art of small talk and other essential etiquette;

* Coping with a media interview and what to wear if you're asked to appear on TV;

* Handling criticism and rejection -- and why "I'm sorry" can sometimes be the worst thing to say; and

* Boosting your self-confidence through effective time management and life planning.

Don't wait for that promotion, a special invitation to speak in public or a new job offer to reevaluate and polish your image. "Selling Yourself" will teach you simple changes you can make today that will add up to big success in your future!
