From the esteemed author of the international bestseller How to Win Friends and Influence People comes a book to help you become the great communicator that you've always wanted to be!

We all know a great public speaker when we see one. He or she seems to possess qualities--confidence, charisma, eloquence, learning--that the rest of us lack. But the ability to speak well in front of others is a skill, not a gift. That means anyone can learn how to do it with the right guidance.

Stand and Deliver gives you everything you need to know to become a poised, polished, and masterful communicator. It reveals the techniques that have worked for countless great speakers throughout history. In this book you will learn how to prepare properly for a presentation, develop and project your own unique style, overcome stage fright, and win any audience in one minute.

Packed with tips, strategies, and real-life examples, including case studies of some of the world's great orators, Stand and Deliver is the definitive guidebook for public speaking. The essential techniques that you learn from this book will benefit you for years to come.

"A Touchstone book."
