Would you like to be more engaging as a public speaker? Joe would. Joe has been a senior executive for more than twenty years. Joe assumes he is a capable public speaker, but then again ... Joe may be comfortable to stand in front of people and speak, but sadly his audience doesn't find Joe to be as exciting as he could be. Joe's presentation skills could do with a makeover. What about yours? Historically, public speaking was approached in a manner that tapped into the logical, left brain in our audience focused on information, data and statistics. To truly connect with and create change in your audience, Anna believes you also need to appeal to the heart, through right brain emotional connection. You can do this by using a series of techniques to: -ENGAGE - your audience by connecting - before you speak; -ENERGISE - your audience through possibility - be a change agent; and -ELEVATE - your audience to new heights - be part of something bigger. The best news is that when you place the focus on your audience through engagement methods, it takes the focus away from you! Anna Perdriau Speaking to hearts and minds is the book that can lift your speaking to new interactive heights. When it comes to public speaking, Anna says: "Let's ban boring, forge through fear and have FUN."
