Being heard, really heard, can be a nerve-wracking and overwhelming task!

This is especially true in a world where everyone seems to have something to say, somewhere, somehow. The ability to present our ideas with confidence is now a much admired and in demand skill. But for many of us, at the point of delivery, we become this other person: less funny, less engaging, less human.

The author of Do Present, Mark Shayler, has his own experiences in this field, developing his skills from his early days as a nervous speaker, and eventually becoming a charismatic compere. In this book he guides you through the task of public speaking and takes a deeper look at what’s holding you back. 

He will help you to: 

- Find your voice and the confidence to share it

- Learn how to tell stories, not just share data 

- Stand and move around the stage comfortably

- Leave the audience informed, entertained and uplifted

Giving a brilliant talk is not about following a method. It's not about rules. It's about understanding what you want the audience to think, feel and do afterwards. Ultimately, it's about being present when you present, and being more you!
