While we seldom may think of it this way, all of us perform frequently. You hope to communicate effectively and confidently to listeners every day, in formal or informal settings. You may be in a classroom, or in a business meeting, or making a presentation at a professional conference. It may be something you have carefully planned for weeks, or it may be impromptu. It could be a chat down the street from your house, or a toast at that friend’s wedding last weekend. James Hagy draws upon his three careers – law school professor, partner in a global law firm, and magician – to share secrets of building your skills in presenting yourself and your ideas to audiences large and small. The essays are informed by the world of magic, where the performer often has direct engagement with members of the audience, as participants rather than just as observers, and the magician is a listener as well as a talker. All the while, quietly also making the “magic” work. Secrets Magicians Could Tell explores the elements of creating a magical presentation for your listeners, from understanding your audience and venue, to audience engagement, to coping when things may go wrong. Whatever the circumstances, everyone deserves to be the star in their own show! First edition. Pictorial wrappers, illustrated, 162 pages. Limited inventory - and exclusive to QTTE. New. …
