A lady in California had a troublesome neighbor, whose cattle overrun her ranch, causing much damage. The lady bore the annoyance patiently, hoping that some compunction would be felt for the damage inflicted. At last she caught a calf which was making havoc in her garden, and sent it home with a child, saying, "Tell Mrs. A. that the calf has eaten nearly everything in the garden, and I have scarcely a cabbage left."

El Arte de Hablar en Publico, esta basado en la experiencia de mas de setenta anos del Curso de Relaciones Humanas de Dale Carnegie, con el fin de descartar lo trivial e ir directamente al centro del proceso de la comunicacion, autententica y reveladora expresion de la personalidad. Cuando no somos aptos para decir claramente lo que queremos decir, a causa del nerviosismo, la timidez o los nebulosos procesos del pensamiento, nuestra personalidad queda expuesta al bloqueo, a la confusion, y a la incomprension. Este libro esta construido a partir de tres principios basicos de Dale Carnegie: Saber que decir, decirlo con conviccion, decirlo vivida y claramente. Este libro le sera de utilidad: * Para convencer a un grupo de escepticos acerca de las conveniencia de determinado punto de vista * Para que aprendamos la manera en que debe explicarse una materia compleja * Para ofrecer una idea en una reunion comunal * Para convencer a un agente de ventas de que su producto es el mejor * Para conversar con fluidez con una amistad reciente * Para "vender" una gran idea * Para persuadir a un grupo de entrar en accion * Para entrar en conversion con un grupo de extranjeros, y mucho mas...

AS A TEACHER and also an examiner and adjudicator in the exciting realm of Speech and Drama, author Eleanor McLeod is all too aware of how difficult it is to find original and appealing scenes for young performers. This collection of monologues is based on characters from familiar fairy stories, many by Hans Anderson and The Brothers Grimm, where the author has taken a slightly different slant, often to modernise the characters and add a touch of humour. So, we have the Mother Bear who is all too aware of compensation culture, or Red Riding Hood's Grandma being hounded by the press Others are more traditional. All of them have already been performed by keen young actors and actresses so we have already seen how they translate into entertaining and captivating performances. Watch out for Vol II 'Duologues' coming soon..

Do you envy speakers who are entertaining? Have you noticed they are admired, sought-after and successful? But are you daunted by the challenge of becoming an entertaining speaker? Perhaps you want to improve but don't know how or don't know where to turn. This could be the book for you. The author, Dr Ray Lowry, has enjoyed a successful career as an academic, public health doctor and dentist and made a name for himself as an entertaining speaker (not surprising as he started life as a comedy writer and performer). He developed coaching to help colleagues become competent, engaging and entertaining speakers. This book crystallises these techniques and will help business people, academics, teachers and amateur speech-makers (even budding stand-up comics) develop their platform skills. As Ray says: "I wish there had been someone like me or the service I offer when I was starting out. I used to envy speakers who were entertaining. And I noticed they were admired, sought-after and successful. But I was daunted by the challenge; terrified sometimes. I didn't know what to do or how to do it. So I set out to find the secrets and see if I could become an entertaining speaker. And I did, as my engagement's diary now shows. I am in demand at conferences, at business meetings, as an after-dinner speaker (and I even do pure stand-up comedy from time to time). Now I've written the book that can help others master the techniques. Before you start becoming an entertaining speaker, you need to be a competent one. So this book contains a lot of detail about that - what it takes to be competent as a presenter even before you stretch yourself in the direction of entertainment. So please don't skip the detail, even though much of it may be old hat to many of you. And by improving your competence as a speaker you will become more entertaining anyway. Competence and entertainment go hand-in-hand in the public speaking business because the customers (your audience) expect it. But who am I to teach you how to become an entertaining speaker? Firstly, I have writing credentials. I have written professional comedy for radio and television and for newspapers and magazines . I have published over 50 straight articles in peer-review professional journals. I also have performing experience. I have appeared on television and radio (straight and comedy) as a chat-show host, interviewer, anchor and presenter. On stage I have done professional and amateur stand-up comedy, revue, pantomime and straight plays. I have spent many years on the professional platform at conferences, in the classroom and in seminars and workshops. My teaching/coaching skills have been refined over the years. I was training programme director for public health in the Northern Health Region for three years (using innovative coaching methods to improve the writing and performance skills of trainees and trainers). My methods feature interactive learning and coaching using actors and audio-visual facilities. I was a senior lecturer at a university for many years teaching, tutoring and mentoring undergraduates and postgraduates and I'm an experienced researcher." Being an entertaining speaker takes you to a higher plane as a presenter. You can expect to rise above the crowd, to stand out from your colleagues and competitors, and to get many advantages. But it doesn't come easy. It takes work and there are risks. Others may be jealous, you will have to step outside your comfort zone (for example learn new things, be less inhibited, seek out help and support) and you will certainly take risks. This book can help you entertain guests at parties or dinners; inject some humour into your speeches or presentations; interest your customers; break into the public speaking business; or try your hand at stand-up comedy.
