Among the many pieces of expert advice in The Essentials of
Persuasive Public Speaking is this nugget: "To capture attention,
define a problem that keeps listeners up at night." Wyeth may as
well be talking about the book itself for nothing keeps us up at
night like the prospect of giving a speech in the morning.
In this portable, brief, and lucid guide to presenting, Wyeth
counsels how to calm a thumping heart and reveals techniques on
preparation, delivery, and visual aids as he gives you vivid
stories and rubber-meets-the-road advice. And he does more than
simply ease your dread; he inspires you with historical accounts
and incisive observations on the power and purpose of speaking
well. From advice on the pitch and pace of your speaking voice to
admonishments against squirrel-paw hands and data-crammed
PowerPoint slides, Wyeth s pointers will give you the focus and
confidence to stand up straight, lean forward, and tell your story
well."
