Based on a hugely successful course completed by thousands of businesspeople, this humorous and witty guide shows how anyone can speak with confidence to an audience of any size. Teachers, lecturers, and professors can also benefit by learning the most effective way of presenting their message and information. Emphasis is placed on the idea that effective speakers do not have to be brilliant orators--sometimes just being "good" is more than enough.

Synopsis:

"Spiders", "death", "the dentist", "snakes", "flying" are in the list of the top ten fears of businesspeople ("Book of List"). But the top position is held by "public speaking". So great is this fear that most businesspeople have a single objective: to get off the platform as soon as possible. This book, based on a hugely successful course given to thousands of businesspeople, shows how anyone can speak with confidence to an audience of any size. Laced with humour and wit, the author emphasizes that you don't have to be a brilliant orator to be an effective speaker in business. Simply being "good" is plenty, because 95 per cent of all business presenters are so awful!
