Publisher's Synopsis
Many people think that self-expression - the ability to marshall one's thoughts logically and convincingly, and the confidence to speak well in front of others - is a gift. The view conveyed by this book is that they are mistaken, that few people are born with such a skill and that it has to be learnt. The authors have devised the PowerTalk System, a specially-designed, interactive programme which readers can start to apply immediately in their professional and personal lives.;The system includes exercises, graphs, checklists and practical information. Advice is offered on the origins of stage-fright and how to get rid of it, the rules of good communication, words that people like to hear and which are best avoided, handling aggression, improvising and commanding respect.
