Technically Speaking is a presentation skills training guide for scientific and technical professionals. It provides a system to make oral communication of complex information understandable and useful. This practical guide enables the reader to give presentations to both fellow professionals and lay audiences in an efficient, effective, and clear manner. Technically Speaking leads the reader through the presentation process of researching, organizing, & presenting information. D'Arcy's 10-step approach saves the speaker considerable amount of time as they prepare for speeches, briefings and presentations. Included in this book: * Detailed guidelines for analyzing your audience, * Checklists, worksheets, and exercises are included for reinforcement, * Suggested criteria for audiovisual materials, * Discussions of electronic presentations, and * Considerations when communicating with international audiences. This book emphasizes techniques to help you manage your fears of public speaking. Throughout the book you will learn how humor, metaphors, and anecdotes can be used to clarify factual data in your presentations, transform it into useful knowledge, and perhaps even transmit wisdom. Technically Speaking: A Guide for Communicating Complex Information can be used two ways: as a how-to instruction guide and as a reference tool. The novice speaker can learn the basic skills or oral presentation. The experienced speaker can use the book to refine presentation skills and to update communication techniques.
