Turn Any Presentation into a Landmark Occasion
Ever wish you could captivate your boardroom with the
opening line of your presentation, like Winston Churchill in
his most memorable speeches? Or want to command attention by
looming larger than life before your audience, much like
Abraham Lincoln when, standing erect and wearing a top hat,
he towered over seven feet? Now, you can master presentation
skills, wow your audience, and shoot up the corporate ladder
by unlocking the secrets of history's greatest speakers. Author, historian, and world-renowned speaker James C.
Humes—who wrote speeches for five American presidents—shows
you how great leaders through the ages used simple yet
incredibly effective tricks to speak, persuade, and win
throngs of fans and followers. Inside, you'll discover how
Napoleon Bonaparte mastered the use of the pregnant pause to
grab attention, how Lady Margaret Thatcher punctuated her
most serious speeches with the use of subtle props, how
Ronald Reagan could win even the most hostile crowd with
carefully timed wit, and much, much more.
