The Polished Presentation: The Complete Speaker's Guide

Written for both adults and young adults, The Polished Presentation: The Complete Speaker's Guide helps executives, managers, salespeople, government and nonprofit leaders, teachers, and undergraduate and graduate students give professional presentations in person and online, having fun and being more effective in the process.

Over her years as a presentations consultant, trainer, and coach, Mary Fensholt Perera heard repeatedly from her clients, "You should write a book." The Polished Presentation, with a foundation in science and psychology, tips for Q&A sessions, and checklists for success, contains information and best practices from Perera's work with clients. Broken into three parts, this guide explains, one, the evolutionary nature of presentation anxiety as well as offering solutions to common symptoms; two, how to choose, organize, and present content; and, three, how to speak confidently.
