Presenting. If that one word made your blood run cold and hands sweat, then this book is for you.
Presenting has to be one of the most nerve-racking things that we have to deal with in life. The thought of having everyone’s eyes on us as we stand before them, bare and ready to be judged, is something that most people fear. Your hands become clammy and your heart rate picks up. You wonder how you will ever make it through. Will they like what you have to say? What will they think when you take the stage? All these things bounce around in your head as you prepare for the big day.
But do you want to know a secret?
Even the most confident and experienced speakers get the jitters. Yes! You are not alone in this. It is a normal feeling.
While it may seem terrifying and stressful to step in front of a room full of people, by reading this book, you will find that there are many ways in which you can relieve that stress and become confident in yourself. You will learn how to take a room by storm and keep the audience engaged, hanging on to your every word until the very end. You will understand the ins and outs of making a successful and interesting presentation that impresses and sticks with others even after you have long finished your presentation.
Are you ready to take the stage by storm? Are you ready for others to hear what you have to say? Then look no further than The Presenter’s Dilemma. Gain the know-how and confidence you need to not only blow the audience out of the water with your presentations but to share your message, your wisdom, and your story with those who are just as passionate as you.
The information in this book will benefit anyone interested in understanding what best practices to use in presenting, as well as why these practices are important. The psychology behind what will inevitably make or break a presentation is an important factor to consider, and in this book, the author provides thorough detail when considering tools necessary to be as successful as possible. He references others’ tried-and-true works, provides statistics, describes what it means to be prepared, the importance of not only knowing your audience, but how to truly engage with them, why practicing is essential, how to manage obstacles, why your appearance (attire, posture, etc.) matters, etc. From the beginner to the more experienced presenter, in The Presenter’s Dilemma you’ll find valuable information and undoubtedly important reminders to help keep your presentations sharp and engaging. I highly recommend this book for those entering college, or any profession which will require addressing audiences and/or doing presentations in front of groups.
