If you want to learn how to give the best presentation of your life and get noticed by those in charge, you should learn from the best. David Dempsey is just that—an executive presentation skills coach and global consultant who has worked with some of the most powerful CEOs in the world. In his book, he reveals his famous eight-step program, a complete step-by-step system that will help dramatically improve your speaking skills, build your personal confidence, capture the attention of the higher-ups, and achieve your professional goals.
He’ll also teach you how to tailor and target your speech for any audience in any situation and incorporate personal stories to make your ideas come alive. Dempsey's book brilliantly addresses every single aspect of the presentation process—from early research and planning to last-minute preparations, and from onstage performance to post-speech Q&As.
It's all there: the tools, techniques, and tricks of the trade top-level professionals will expect you to have to move up the ladder. It's everything you need to step up, stand, and speak with confidence and conviction... every time!
Excerpt:
“There is nothing mysterious about learning to speak with confidence. It is a craft that anyone – even you steely naysayers – can master with initiative, tenacity, and this step by step blueprint for success.
I have also learned that the notion of someone being a “born speaker” is a myth. Not even the most renowned speakers – Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton – fit into that category. Gifted speakers make it look effortless, but it never is. Speaking is an art that you develop and constantly hone.”
