Why you should read The How of Wow
To deliver a memorable speech you need a combination of the right words and a great performance. Both are crucial, but performance often makes the difference between a mediocre presentation and an exceptional one. Author Tony Carlson has written a useful book on how to prepare and deliver a speech to achieve maximum impact on your audience. He covers all the details, from manuscript preparation to rehearsal techniques to post-speech follow-up. He writes in a witty, flowing style, and he includes invaluable anecdotes, useful checklists and a section on dealing with speechwriters. While "wowing" today’s skeptical audiences is no easy task, Carlson’s tips will help you get listeners on your side. getAbstract recommends this book to professionals who want to sharpen their speaking skills, speechwriters and anyone involved in corporate communication.
