Capa
Citadel Press, 1997 - 245 páginas
Public speaking can be a terrifying process for anyone, but for women it can be particularly painful. Whether the situation is a departmental presentation or a graduation address, women often find themselves frightened and unprepared for the speech, despite their knowledge of the subject. Drawing on her own successful experience and presenting pertinent advice from top female executives, Linda D. Swink leads women through each step of researching and preparing for a speech, using visual aids and props, breath and voice control, and learning to dress with authority. "Speak with Power and Grace" covers all aspects of giving a speech and will empower any woman who wants her words to be taken seriously. -- From publisher's description.
