Step into the Spotlight (ePub)

If you believe your ideas are of value - speak up! This book is designed to help you do just that.

Filled with practical tips on every aspect of business presenting, in-person and virtual, it provides a powerful, step-by-step process that guides you out of the shadows and into the spotlight, ensuring you present with impact, inspire confidence and get results - every time.

People who communicate and execute great ideas propel our businesses and organisations forward. But oddly, we pay more attention and give more credence to those who project confidence - regardless of the quality of their ideas.

The result? Far too many promising careers stall, and great ideas fail to connect because of poor presentation skills. What's more, far too many bad ideas get adopted (and narcissistic leaders get promoted) because of our bias toward displays of confidence.

You have a duty to those ideas, your organisation, and possibly the world to ensure your ideas are heard. If you believe your ideas are of value, this book will help you speak up.
