  One of our greatest fears is public speaking. It is greater than the fear of loneliness, and greater than the fear of snakes. It is even greater than the fear of death. Yet speaking is one of the most powerful means of influencing others in business and in life. Speaking Persuasively shows how to convert the adrenalin produced by this fear into effective communication in front of small and large groups. Using real examples, it explains how to order your material, attract the audience's attention, control your voice, use appropriate body language and adapt your techniques for different situations. It not only shows you how to speak well, but also how to feel at ease with public speaking. Speaking Persuasively is for professionals in business and the public sector who want to improve their speaking skills.
