Download or read book Killer Presentation Skills written by J. Douglas Jefferys and published by Publicspeakingskills.com. This book was released on 2011 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contrarian approach to the art of public speaking that has nevertheless been used by the world's greatest speakers going back to Cato. Regardless of how you perceive your abilities as a presenter, chances are you engage in the same counter-productive actions and beliefs as 95% of all public speakers today. Actions and beliefs you acquired long ago, and that have worked against you and your audiences ever since. But have you ever wondered how some speakers stand out from all the rest? The truth is, great speakers are not born, they're trained. Trained in a set of simple physical behaviors known in the speaking business as "The Skills." Doug Jefferys' firm, PublicSpeakingSkills.com, has been training professionals from all walks of life in The Skills for over 15 years, and is now making this career-changing knowledge available to you in this entertaining and engaging text format. The book is filled with links to videos of famous great speakers and original animations that bring the learning alive. In the back are appendices of transcripts of great speeches broken down, line by line, into the exact cadence of the speaker's original delivery. No self-hypnosis, no fuzzy neuro-reprogramming, no reliance on "positive thinking" exercises that fail at the worst time. The unique training process that takes you from a speaking zero to a speaking hero is available to anyone who chooses to learn the technique and run with it. Early praise for Killer Presentation Skills: "I'm a tough critic - especially when it comes to compet-itors - but Killer Presentation Skills is right on the mark. This is an excellent book for everyone who wants to take their presentation skills to the next level." - Karen Friedman Karen Friedman Enterprises Author of Shut Up and Say Something: Business Communication Strategies to Overcome Challenges and Influence Listeners "Most courtroom litigators make it all the way through college and law school without ever learning how to effectively speak to a group. I'm here to say that the client whose representation has not read this book has a fool for a lawyer!" -Suzanne Bender, ESQ. Noted Philadelphia area Attorney "In our business, presentations are all we do. And we have to do them right, because we're basically asking our prospects to trust us with their life savings. Over the years our firm has brought in numerous presentation "experts," but no method that we've ever seen comes close to Mr. Jefferys' program for creating an atmosphere of both comfort and complete trust for our audiences." -James Gallagher, CLTC Creative Financial Group "Whether you've been speaking for years or just starting out - you need to learn "The Skills." This book explains what you've been doing wrong and more importantly, how to change those behaviors for good. Your audiences will thank you." -Julie Terberg - Principal and Creative Director Terberg Design LLC "I speak to very large crowds - a thousand or more. I've had a pretty good reputation in my field for many years, but not so much as a great speaker. As Jefferys makes clear, speaking well is about acquiring certain behaviors, something anyone can do, and not about being born with a given talent. Now I'm known not for just for my expertise, but for my ability to grab and hold an audience. When I speak, people listen. I absolutely love what I do!" -Geoffrey Katzenberg, MD

Download or read book Daring Greatly written by Brené Brown and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researcher and thought leader Dr. Brené Brown offers a powerful new vision in Daring Greatly that encourages us to embrace vulnerability and imperfection, to live wholeheartedly and courageously. 'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; . . . who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly' -Theodore Roosevelt Every time we are introduced to someone new, try to be creative, or start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel uncertain and exposed. We feel vulnerable. Most of us try to fight those feelings - we strive to appear perfect. Challenging everything we think we know about vulnerability, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the widely accepted myth that it's a weakness. She argues that vulnerability is in fact a strength, and when we shut ourselves off from revealing our true selves we grow distanced from the things that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Daring Greatly is the culmination of 12 years of groundbreaking social research, across the home, relationships, work, and parenting. It is an invitation to be courageous; to show up and let ourselves be seen, even when there are no guarantees. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly. 'Brilliantly insightful. I can't stop thinking about this book' -Gretchen Rubin Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. Her groundbreaking work was featured on Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday, NPR, and CNN. Her TED talk is one of the most watched TED talks of all time. Brené is also the author of The Gifts of Imperfection and I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't).

Download or read book Heels of Steel written by Vanessa Vallely and published by Ecademy Press. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heels of Steel tracks the trials and tribulations of “the most networked woman in the City” (Evening Standard); a woman who started in the City at just 15 and worked her way up to C-suite. Having achieved everything she thought she’d ever wanted, Vanessa quickly learnt that success often comes at a great deal of personal cost and compromise. The constant battling and accomplishment of the ultimate grand prize eventually took its toll and drastically altered her definition of ‘success’, encouraging a life-changing move in a new direction. From periods of glittering success to near total derailment, Heels of Steel unveils the truth behind a woman’s climb to success in the male dominated City world. You are invited to follow her journey as she scales (and slips up and down) the corporate ladder, digging her heels in to avoid being absorbed by the politics and alpha male behaviour still prevalent in so many corporate environments. A mid-career realisation about her deep-rooted need to rediscover and be proud of her femininity helped Vanessa to discover things she never knew about herself, and introduced much-needed support from other women, which had been absent throughout her career. The book provides transparent insight into the world of corporate women, addresses the challenges facing every ambitious person throughout their career journey and tackles our never-ending search for balance. Packed with tips, advice and practical steps based on real life experiences, this autobiographical story is also a practical guide that will fast become a must-read for anyone seeking to not only survive the corporate jungle, but stand some chance of thriving in it!
