From the Author:

Genuine 'how to' information
This is the book I wish I'd had through most of my career as a teacher/presenter/trainer.

How to plan a presentation, how to build confidence (as distinct from 'how to stop being scared' - the difference REALLY makes a difference), how to prepare a script, notes, cue cards, etc., how to plan and design visual aids, how to address your audience as individuals without losing touch with the audience as a whole.
These are just SOME of the topics covered in this book.

Whether you're just starting out, or you've already 'been round the block' a few times, there's something in this book for you.
