In this short but powerful book, Roam introduces a new set of tools for making extraordinary presentations in any setting. He also draws on ideas he's been honing for more than two decades, as an award-winning presenter who has brought his whiteboard everywhere from Fortune 500 companies to tiny startups to the White House.
Even if you're already a good speaker, you'll learn more about understanding your audience, organizing your content, building a clear storyline, creating effective visuals, and channeling your fear into fun. And you'll master three fundamental rules:
* When we tell the truth, we connect with our audience, we become passionate, and we find self-confidence.
* When we tell a story, we make complex concepts clear, we make ideas unforgettable, and we include everyone.
* When we use pictures, people see exactly what we mean, we captivate our audience's mind, and we banish boredom.
From nailing the opening to leaving a lasting impression, you'll soon be able to give the performance of a lifetime . . . time after time.
