Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nancy Regan has interviewed many of the biggest stars in the entertainment industry--Oprah, Madonna, and Harrison Ford to name just a few--and has a gift for putting people at ease. But while studiously projecting confidence, the beloved Live at 5 host often struggled with insecurity, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and fear of failure. In her first book, Regan offers up her own life experience and struggles in vulnerable and honest prose, exploring how overcoming these challenges enriched her life and now fuels her ability to help others. Weaving together self-help and memoir, Practicing Presence offers readers access to Regan's personal and professional toolkit--whether they're leading a Zoom meeting or speaking to a crowd of thousands--garnered from two decades of television broadcasting, as well as real-life examples drawn from her current role as a professional speaker and presentation coach. Ultimately, this timely book asks readers to explore the deeper issues behind their fear of public speaking, and learn to embrace their authentic self in every interaction; and to understand that being present in the moment is a practise. This book will be a handy map for anyone who wishes to embark on a journey to living their most authentic life with contentment and confidence."--
Download or read book Showing Off Showing Up written by Laurie Frederik and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interdisciplinary essays in Showing Off, Showing Up examine acts of showing, a particular species of performance that relies on competition and judgment, active spectatorship, embodied excess, and exposure of core values and hidden truths. Acts of showing highlight those dimensions of performance that can most manipulate spectators and consumers, often through over-the-top heightening and skewing of presentation. Many forms of showing and of heightened performance, however, operate more enigmatically and covertly while still profoundly affecting the social world, even if our reactions to them are initially flippant or unconcerned because “it’s just a show.” Examining a wide range of examples—from dog shows to competitive dancing to carnivals to striptease, the essays illuminate how such events variously foster competition, exaggerate a characteristic, and reveal hidden truths. There is as much to be learned about the power of showing through subtlety and underlying intentionality as through overt display. The book’s theoretical introduction and 12 essays by leading scholars reveal how diverse, particularly efficacious genres of showing are theoretically connected and why they merit more concerted attention, especially in the 21st century.
