This book will help you create and deliver powerful presentations to your target audience start to finish - whether it's a video, seminar, speech, business meeting, etc. Your delivered message will be useful, memorable and move your audience to action.
Paul Scelsi, a public speaker in the residential building materials industry since 1998, shares his insights to successful presentations, from a razor-sharp outlining of topics during the writing process to collecting and evaluating audience feedback for future improvement long after you walked off the stage. And everything in between.
.- Backstage Prep: Pretend you are literally in one of the seats in the crowd about to sit through YOUR presentation. What would quickly grab your attention? And what would keep your attention for the duration? Your answers to those questions form the foundation of a successful presentation's content and delivery.
- Creating Useful, Memorable Content: The writing begins as soon as you identify a crystal clear primary purpose. Challenge yourself to find the main point of your message. What one key takeaway do you hope to convey to the listener? Let that drive the substance of your content. This book will help you build your presentation from there.
- Presenting Powerfully: The passion and energy a presenter brings elevates the message for the audience. A powerful presenter has an extensive toolbox to use: eye contact with everyone, deliberate gestures, well-timed pauses, varied volume, rhetorical questions, and more.
Put the tools to work for you.
In hundreds of cities all across North America Paul Scelsi has used the principles in this book to create and deliver presentations that audiences have found great value in, were engaged the entire time, and felt motivated to take action. It's time to take the stage to begin your presentation. Are you ready to grab and hold their attention?
