PRODUCT DETAILSPublisher: Crown House PublishingPub. Date: 31st January 2001 Catalog: Book Media: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 300 Ean: 9781899836529 Isbn: 1899836527 ABOUT THIS BOOKUSER REVIEWS
This book is a tough read, but has some very valuable information. The front side of the book is laborious to read and doesn't share a lot of new insights into presenting. But, if you can get through the core of the book, the backside has some hidden gems. Maybe a second time through would bring the front of the book more into perspective. Overall, as American Idol Randy Jackson says, "It was just alright."
Do not listen to naysayers. This book delivers what it promises. This book transends college text books and move you into the realm to really powerful presentation. If you are truly looking to improve your presentation skills, then get this book.
This is an excellent book. Probably the only one you'll need if you want to know about NLP and want to be a good presenter at the work or church. The book has plenty exercises and it is well written with just enough pictures, small chapters and deep subject with clear and concise explanation. I give it 5 stars, and I have read it many times and never get tired of reading it.
This book was recommended to me by a friend and I shall be indebted to that person the rest of my life. As a professional presenter I constantly need to review my delivery techniques and look for ways to add impact for my audience. This book turned out to be an amazing assest in that regard. I tried two techniques right after finishing the book and was amazed at their efficacy. I try to add one more during each presentation. If your serious about improving your ability to relate to groups (or individuals for that matter) buy and use this book. It is indeed magic.
Some context: I've debated, acted in plays and done presentations in various forms all my life and won awards consistently. I've also read 100+ books on speaking/presenting/influencing such as influence by cialdini, art of rhetoric by aristotle, nlp books, dale carnegie. However, this book is by far the best book i've ever read on presenting. There are priceless ideas and exercises in here for 1) Managing how you feel. 2) Managing the audience's state i.e. how they feel. 3) Keeping different types of people involved i.e. people with different representational systems (visual, kinesthetic, etc.) and different attitudes (why do this, how do we do this, etc.) 4) A great structure for presentations. 5) Energy Level 6) Developing rapport with the audience. 7) Going into a state which is ideal for presenting. 8) Using open ended stories (open loops) to increase audience's curiosity etc. 9) Reading the audience Do read this book - it's a piece of art. And it'll definitely help you get much much better results and have more fun when presenting and interacting with people. SIMILAR ITEMS: |
