Presenting yourself

After reading in the introduction that “ … this book is about all the anxieties that a speaker faces before he or she faces an audience,” a reader might assume that this is just another book about communication or public speaking. It is not. The author later warns that this is not “a course on public speaking or speechmaking.” Instead, “ … this book is about the art of preparation. It´s about the steps you can take to present yourself, your ideas, and your visuals as effectively as possible.”
