Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best of skills and competency levels will not help if one is unable to present or communicate effectively. In recent studies conducted in organizations, it was established that more than 60% of an executive’s time was spent in communicating and presenting ideas, and in the case of top-level executives, it even exceeded 80% of the daily working time. One may have great knowledge of their field, excellent skills and enormous potential, but the world will know about these only if one can properly present themselves along with the qualities they have. The most successful employees are the ones who can communicate well. People with effective presentation skills know how to speak with confidence, conveying information in a clear, crisp and concise manner. Business leaders are often expected to present new ideas, new developments, new innovations, company policies and changes to staff, clients, partners, or even the public. Lots of money, time, planning, efforts and pressure can go into these presentations. Therefore organizations are constantly on the lookout for such ones who have strong presentation skills to take the lead on these kinds of projects. People who possess these skills will be more likely to get noticed by their superiors and climb their way up the corporate ladder faster. So whether you are a high-level manager or just an assistant, developing your presentation skills is one sure way to climb up the corporate ladder. Being a good presenter contributes a lot to individual growth, especially for those in the field of sales and marketing. This is because your presentation skills can help play a vital role in how well you are able to convince your audience. Further, being a good communicator gives you a chance to connect with people, thus enabling you to easily convey your ideas in the meeting room. And most times, it’s your presentation that can actually help bag projects. For businessmen and entrepreneurs, a powerful presentation can mean funding for their startup or convincing stakeholders. For employees and freelancers, a great presentation means retaining a client or securing a new project. But many people think of presentation skills as only the delivery part. However, creating a great presentation requires much more than just public speaking skills. Being able to create and deliver a great presentation is something that most people need to know as it’s an important way to express ideas and persuade audiences. One example is the understanding of your audience, which is an important trait of a good presenter. You need to be able to research properly, structure your ideas, write the presentation in an orderly flow, add visuals and design elements, and then only you get to present it. Presentation skills are therefore most vital for individual growth as well as the success of an organization on the whole and this book: “Professional Presentation Skills- A Handbook & Quick Reference Guide” will help you do just that, covering all that you would need to prepare and deliver an impactful presentation. You will find that the book has been laid out in a very unique manner, under 20 headings each beginning with a ‘P’ that will help equip you or your team with the best of skills to mark your presence and help you move forward and upward, soaring high!

Many politicians and business people have mastered this skill and developed it into an art form and that is one reason they are so successful.The techniques they use, however, can be learned. That is what 'Dry Martini, Bitte' is all about. Once you have learned these skills you will be able to make effective, attention-grabbing presentations. You will be able to lead successful meetings, chair discussions, give media interviews and be confident in knowing that what you are saying is being both heard and understood.The title of the book illustrates how difficult communications can sometimes be. The author was in a hotel in Germany after conducting a communications seminar and ordered a dry martini. The waiter returned with three martinis because he heard him say 'drei' - the German word for three and not 'dry' as intended. It was a powerful example of a communication breakdown.This book is designed to prevent such communication snafus. It provides solutions to the problems many presenters and communicators encounter every day. It is filled with specific techniques and skills which will take much of the anxiety out of presenting material to groups or individuals whether face-to-face or through print or electronic media.Most people fear sometimes even hate making presentations. Because we want to perform at our highest level we put pressure on ourselves, and that results in "nerves". The other reason for fear is that many people simply do not know what to do because they have never learned the necessary skills and techniques. So, they just push ahead and do the best they can.This book will teach how you to develop a plan so that you know what to do, what to say and how best to say it. These techniques will stand you in good stead whenever you need to communicate whether it is in the office or in front of millions of people during a live television interview.The book will teach you how to develop presentation skills so that you grab the audience's attention from the very first moment. It also discusses in great detail how to make maximum impact using posture, hand gestures, eye contact and all the other factors that come into play when successfully communicating with others.There are also chapters on how best to perform on radio and television, what to say and what not so say and how to get your message across even with a hostile interviewer. Other sections on communicating with the media include writing press releases and holding press conferences.If you lack communication skills and want to become a great communicator, you need to read Dry Martini, Bitte.
