Presentational Skills for the Next Generation (Kindle Edition)

Presentational Skills for the Next Generation
Presentational Skills for the Next Generation (Kindle Edition)
By Ginger Marks

Buy new: $9.95

First tagged by cacophony
Customer tags: language, public speaking, presentations

Review & Description

“Presentational Skills for the Next Generation covers a wide range of topics that presenters need to know. Some of the topics, such as organizing the content and working with audio-visual technology are rarely covered. The author’s emphasis on rehearsing and considering the audience first are very valuable. You’ll also find excellent coverage on the delivery aspect of presenting, including how to dress, what equipment to pack, dealing with fear, and more. The Resources section at the end is very useful, too.”

The Last Hustle (Paperback)

The Last Hustle
The Last Hustle (Paperback)
By Kenny Johnson

Buy new: $16.45
5 used and new from $13.50

First tagged by kenneth johnson
Customer tags: redemption, spirituality, public speaking, crime drama

Review & Description

For thirty-one years Kenny Johnson's most fervent desire was to hear his name 'ringing in the streets' as a hustler, thief, and pimp. Running parallel with that desire was a persistent seed of spiritual longing that would not leave him alone. Kenny was arrested thirty-seven times and spent much of his life in prison, or on the run. Each time behind bars sent him into a deep and profound despair. Eventually his desire for lasting freedom would drive him to find a power that could not only get him through his final sentence, but free him from prison forever. The Last Hustle, written in the first person, is the story of Kenny's life as a criminal and his transformation in prison. Gangaji says of the book, "Kenny Johnson has written a stirring tale of redemption. His story proves that however hard and unpromising our particular life circumstances, we can discover true happiness. As we follow the arc of his life, we recognize his mistakes and his opportunities. Finally, he recognizes that to live a free life, he must turn his attention to a bigger life than he has known. This is the same choice we all are given, and his book compellingly invites us into the bigger life." Read more

Is it possible to do what you love and feel passionate about, and still make a good living?

Why not find out from some of the top speakers in America. This book includes interviews with 26 professional speakers, including four former National Speakers Association presidents: Patricia Fripp, Mark Sanborn, Gina Schreck and Joe Sabah.

Find out what caused them to originally launch speaking careers, what they learned about sustaining their careers in tough economic times, and what motivates them to keep getting up there in front of people year after year. If you think you might like to consider a career in public speaking, first learn from the best!

Wouldn’t you like to know how often top speakers present and what their typical fee is? How do they keep their business growing? Do they use a publicist? What creative ways have they found to utilize the internet and social media to more effectively sell themselves and their products? Where do they find their best content and inspiration as top speakers? Whether you want to earn a six figure income as a speaking professional, or simply learn what the masters already know,

Finding Speaking Success will reveal many of the answers you seek. Some of their answers may surprise you. Why do some speakers recommend lessons in acting, comedy, and improv? What are they doing now, that they wish they had started sooner? Want to hear about their most humbling or embarrassing moments while speaking? How is the profession changing with the proliferation of webinars and video conferencing?

Time to turn to the masters for all of the answers!
