Want to Inform, Influence and Entertain Like a Pro?: Simply Recognize the Seven Deadly Sins of Public Speaking and then Avoid Them

WANT TO INFORM INFLUENCE AND ENTERTAIN LIKE A PRO? summarizes Fromstein?s experience as an executive speechwriter, college professor, a competitive Toastmaster and a business workshop facilitator. This easy-to-follow, practical guide is designed to help you: ? Engage upper management long enough for them to warm to the merits of your process innovation or cost saving idea. ? Avoid suffocating the audience?s interest with inane, lacklustre loquaciousness. ? Have the last word in an argument about who comes first in your office relationships (don?t try this at home). BONUS MATERIAL: HOW TO ADD HUMOR TO EVERYTHING Fromstein co-authored this section of the book with stand-up comic Michael Nemiroff. The Bonus Material is intended to be read by anyone who has ever given a sales report, market review, technical summary or conference presentation and found that his or her audience was fast asleep, in a coma or dead. Fromstein and Nemiroff show you how to use humor appropriately to engage your business audience. In addition to many examples sprinkled throughout the text, there are a number of actual speech scripts in the Putting Theory Into Practice section.
