Almost everyone must make a presentation at one time or another — from students explaining their science projects to business professionals explaining their new strategies, consultants explaining a new public relations campaign, and neighborhood associations arguing for or against a development before the zoning board.
Public speaking routinely ranks among the top 10 fears on many surveys — often it ranks #1 or 2. More than death and taxes, the thing people fear most is speaking in public (usnews.com). A survey reported in The Book of Lists found that most people would rather die than give a speech. Fear of public speaking outranked fear of death by a 2 to 1 margin. (The Washington Times cites a study done by nationwide polling firm Briskin-Goldring Research, Inc., in Edison NJ, for the statistic.) Whether youre pitching a new client, teaching a class or speaking at a conference, there may come a time when you need to prepare for and deliver a knockout presentation. And if youre taking time to get out there and present, you want it to be memorablein a positive way. Giving a Presentation In a Day For Dummies is an attractive option for any person in business hoping to brush up on their skills.
