The ability to “present” well can be a significant benefit in organisational life. It can help you to share your ideas, gain support for your recommendations, train or coach others, win a promotion or achieve a pay rise. Despite the clear advantages, this apparently does little to calm fear held by the vast majority of people – the fear of formally presenting to a group. In fact, most people are more comfortable dealing with death, bankruptcy, taxes, divorce, imprisonment, snakes, spiders, mice, and the dark!

By the time you finish reading this book, your fear of public speaking will have reduced. Confidence born of practice will do even more. However, we will focus on two key areas in which improvements can be made. These are:

  • The way in which your presentation is assembled, structured, focused, and put into context.
  • The style you adopt in delivering your message and interacting with your audience.

Of course, there is no one way to do either of the above. However, many ordinary presenters have improved the impact of their presentations by 30% or 40% just by following a few basic steps that are used by extremely successful public speakers and presenters.
