Why We Like This Book
When Dempsey was a young trial lawyer, his knees once wobbled so violently during his summation to a jury that he overheard them dub him "Jell-O Boy." In Better to Best he describes the presentation wisdom he has learned since then that has helped him to become a professional communication skills trainer and coach. By detailing the minutiae involved in great presentations, including essential tips for conquering question-and-answer sessions, his professional advice can take the anxiety and uncertainty out of any presentation. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Better to Best: How to Speak for Extraordinary Results... Every Time! (David J. Dempsey)
