　　Recent research in the US has revealed that corporate managers spend 50 per cent of their working day making, watching or preparing presentations. Research also identifies public speaking as a greater fear for people than such horrors as death and poverty. (According to comedian Jerry Seinfeld, an American asked to give the eulogy at a funeral would prefer to be in the coffin!) This poses a serious dilemma for anyone who is climbing the corporate ladder. Success is closely related to how well one can deliver a persuasive point of view â yet the prospect of making a presentation is, for many, fraught with anxiety. Surprisingly, there is little formal or on-the-job training for these rhetorical skills. Persuasive Presentations will show anyone how to plan, prepare and deliver a presentation with absolute confidence. It is designed to ensure the interaction is outcome-driven and that the audience will give the required response. Even the performance elements of the work â visual support, language and non-verbal communication through movement and gestures â are designed with the audience in mind. The end result is a presentation that is more memorable, more persuasive, is delivered with greater confidence and takes less time to prepare.
