Presentation Skills eReport
The number one fear of most adults is speaking in public. Yet, the ability to communicate to groups of people is a skill that can make a critical difference in our careers and our ability to share information, ideas, experience, and enthusiasm with others. A study conducted by AT&T and Stanford University revealed that the top predictor of professional success and upward mobility is how much you enjoy public speaking and how effective you are at it. Most of us have experienced our share of boring or unprofessional presentations. After what seems like hours, we still don't know what message we're supposed to get. Maybe the speaker put us to sleep with his monotone or we couldn't read the small writing on the visual aids, which didn't seem to match up with what the speaker was trying to say anyway. To avoid being the source of a “sleeper” presentation, you need to build your presentation skills. This 9-page eReport will give you specific, easy-to-follow techniques that you will be able to put to work immediately.
