Everyone has to be a listener sometimes; at lectures, presentations, meetings, and on the telephone, we spend a lot of our time listening to others talking. We all know, then, that the average standard of spoken presentation is poor. We are often bored, irritated, even embarrassed as listeners; rarely are we captivated, or filled with new enthusiasm for a topic and with respect for the speaker. [+/-]
• Everyone has to speak sometimes.
• Speaking can be learned.
• Research evidence helps us to understand.
• Sometimes research results are surprising.
• Self-awareness is needed to be a good speaker.
• Critical advice from a friend is the best quick guide to speaking.
Effective Speaking provides the hard scientific information about audience psychology, text preparation, presentation methods, voice production, body language and persuasive advocacy which will help would-be speakers improve their performance. The emphasis throughout is on practical self-help, on methods which have been shown to work, with clear explanations of just why they are effective.
