Publisher's Synopsis
The power of narrative and humor to make a speech truly memorable is the subject of this engagingly written, concise volume. The author, an award-winning speaker/speechwriter and a former teacher, has created a helpful compendium of information on two important areas of public speaking: how to tell stories that will affect audiences and bring home key points, and how to use humor to win the audience over and to put them in the most receptive mood for the speaker's message. With many real-world examples and exercises to bring the material to life and a wealth of lists that provide important tips for speakers, this text will be a useful addition to the library of anyone who wants to make a point that the audience remembers long after the speech is over.
