This book has one simple goal: to help you succeed in your next presentation or speech. You don't need decades of training to achieve this goal. You don't need the eloquence of Lincoln or Churchill or Martin Luther King. You just need to learn and practice 10 simple rules...and we mean simple . Michael Lawrence Faulkner helps you apply basic truths about human nature and nonverbal communication to get your audience on your side, and keep them there-from the moment you walk on stage to the moment you leave. You'll learn how to prepare well, enter with confidence, own your space, and deliver a message that is clear and powerful. Nervous? Of course you are! Everyone is.
