Credibility is the most important aspect of presenting.

Whether you are an executive, manager or teacher, this book will give you all the techniques you need to present with credibility. In a concise, easy to follow format, you will learn how to have presence and dynamism as a speaker and how to speak with authenticity. From knowing how to capture an audience in the first two minutes of your presentation, to speaking before an audience of senior executives, or delivering a keynote, Presenting with Credibility is packed with hundreds of practical tips as well as inspiration.
In today's fast-paced, competitive economy, those who can present an idea with clarity and persuade others, stand out from the crowd. Mastering the wealth of techniques outlined in this book will give you that extra edge. If you are not able to attend my presentation skills training workshop, this book is your next best option.
