Vor Publikum zu sprechen, ist für die wenigsten von uns eine behagliche Vorstellung. Dennoch steht fast jeder eines Tages vor der Herausforderung, einen Vortrag halten zu müssen - sei es im Kreis einiger Kollegen, auf einem Vertriebsmeeting oder auch vor Hunderten von Zuhörern in einem Auditorium. Dieses unterhaltsam geschriebene Buch zielt darauf ab, Ihnen die Angst vor der öffentlichen Rede zu nehmen. Bestseller-Autor Scott Berkun hat dafür seine 15-jährigen Erfahrungen als Redner auf Konferenzen kondensiert und lässt Sie an seinen größten Erfolgen, aber auch an den schlimmsten Pannen teilhaben. Anhand vieler Beispiele erfahren Sie, wie Sie - die Angst vor Fehlern verlieren - mit Nervosität umgehen - die ungeteilte Aufmerksamkeit des Publikum erlangen - aufrichtiges Feedback einholen und - unvorhergesehene Situationen meistern. "Ich habe dieses Buch verschlungen! Jeder, der seinen Lebensunterhalt damit verdient zu reden - einschließlich Lehrer -, wird von diesem Buch profitieren."

An audience-centered approach to public speaking Public Speaking: An Audience-Centered Approach brings theory and practice together. Its distinctive and popular approach emphasizes the importance of analyzing and considering the audience at every point in the speech making process. This model of public speaking is the foundation of the text, and it guides students through the step-by-step process of public speaking, focusing their attention on the dynamics of diverse audiences, and narrowing the gap between the classroom and the real world.

Learn how to become a confident, effective speaker. What are you afraid of? Spiders? Small spaces? Heights? For many, our biggest fear, more fearful than jumping off a building or out of a plane, is public speaking. But why? Why is public speaking such a terrifying thing? As you’ll find out, speaking in front of strangers is an art that requires practice. Many teachers begin teaching public speaking on how to speak publicly. They study voice, gesture, and the rest but this approach is futile. Instead, the best way to improve is to just do it. In fact, "it is an ancient truism that we learn to do by doing." Once you have begun speaking, you can then improve by observing your speeches, fixing the mistakes, and listening to constructive criticism. So take the plunge and the rest will fall into place, you’ll be a master speech in no time. Of course, it’ll take lots of practice, but you’ll learn the tips and tricks from author Dale Carnegie to make the most of your practice. You’ll learn everything, including how to overcome your stage fright to the importance of arranging your audience. So if you're ready to take the plunge, let’s begin.
