Fear. Public speaking is one of the most common phobias. Whether presenting a sales pitch to a small group of decision makers or addressing a crowd of hundreds at a company forum, all presenters harbor the same fear.

Master speaker TJ Walker has the solution--the secret--to giving foolproof presentations: focus on what the audience really wants. Based on thousands of presentation workshops and personal coaching sessions with CEOs, prime ministers, members of Congress, and average business people, TJ Walker's Secret to Foolproof Presentations will make every reader a better presenter. The book details his audience-centric approach to preparing, rehearsing, testing, and delivering presentations that will keep listeners talking about the message long after they've left the room.

Walker addresses the most common questions speakers have, such as

* How long should my presentation be?
* How can I best use technology in my presentation?
* When should I take questions?
* What do I do if I make a mistake?
* What should I do with my hands?

In a direct, conversational, and often humorous style, Walker offers novice presenters and savvy speakers specific advice and concrete techniques that will make every presentation memorable and foolproof.
