The fear of getting up and talking to others hurts the careers of many people because, as the Harvard Business Review reports, "the number one criteria for advancement and promotion for professionals is their ability to communicate effectively." Clearly, making an effective presentation, whether to your peers, your boss, the customer, the general public, or the media, may play a major role in your career advancement.

More and more people must make presentations as part of their jobs, and yet companies are so understaffed that few people have the time to take the type of presentations training they need. Making an effective presentation, like any other skill, can be taught if you have a guide to follow. Most people start planning the presentation the wrong way and continue to compound the problem as they move forward.

Fortunately, anyone can learn to speak effectively in any situation. In fact, Bulletproof Presentations will show you how, as it leads you through a step-by-step program that can turn even the shakiest speaker into a cool, confident presenter. This book focuses on practical, easy-to-follow guidelines, coupled with the blueprints that will allow you to apply the techniques immediately. Bulletproof Presentations reveals the key to controlling your fears, details how to outline and organize an effective presentation, improve your style delivery and captivate your audience. It will make both you and your ideas bulletproof!

Imagine yourself viewing a speech or presentation as an opportunity. Imagine being excited about the prospect of speaking before a large group. Think of how good you will feel as you walk to the podium, cool and confident that your presentation is solid. Think of how your friends and colleagues will envy your ability to speak in public!

And with the blueprints provided at the end of the book, you will be able to repeat that success over and over again!
