Book Description
Industry Week, February 2000 "[Dowis]...provides refreshing...insights, peppered with dry humor, about how [to] create and present a speech from start to finish."
Product Description: It's not all in the delivery. Here's expert guidance on
how to write a dynamic speech. Splashy slides, confident body language, and a lot of eye contact are fine and well. But if a speech is rambling, illogical, or just plain boring, the impact will be lost.
Now everyone can learn to give powerful,
on-target speeches that capture an audience's attention and drive home a message. The key is not just in the delivery techniques, but in tapping into the power of language.
Prepared by an award-winning writer, this authoritative speech-writing
guide covers every essential element of a great speech, including outlining and organizing, beginning with a bang, making use of action verbs and vivid nouns, and handling questions from the audience. Plus, the book includes excerpts from some of
history's most memorable speeches--eloquent words to contemplate and emulate.
