Résumé

Modern business and modern life are making more and more of us into public speakers. If you ever represent your business, your organization or your cause at a formal meeting; if you ever have to persuade people to vote for you, work for you or finance you; if you ever teach or become any sort of leader; if you ever have to give or receive an award... some time, somewhere you will be on your feet in front of an audience with nothing more to rely on than the power of your words.

For many people, public speaking is an ordeal. It need not be. Richard Heller knows the secrets of High Impact Speeches, and this book will help you to harness your unique gifts to create speeches, which you can deliver with confidence and conviction. Speeches that get the results you want from your audience.

In simple language, High Impact Speeches shows how to plan, organize, write and deliver the words that will move minds.
