Book Description
Communication in corporate America takes multiple forms, including job interviews, performance appraisal reviews, conference calls, meetings, memoranda, letters, reports, policy statements, workshops, and direct sales. The regular use of the public speech, however, has often been overlooked by companies as a major power tool with which to drive a business. This widespread neglect of public speaking as advertiser, promoter, motivator, and persuader surely accounts for billions of dollars of neglected opportunity each year in the United States alone. High-Impact Public Speaking for Business and the Professions will help you learn to use public speaking as an effective business tool. Though the primary audience for this book is the business executive at any level of management, would-be public speakers outside corporate life can hone their speaking skills for a wide array of purposes.
