SHOW AND TELL

Dan Roam

How Everybody Can Make Extraordinary Presentations

In SHOW AND TELL, the popular author of The Back of The Napkin uses a simple, five-step process to tackle the most essential of all business skills: the ability to make extraordinary presentations.
We are all natural born presenters. We have ideas to share, voices to share them, and people to share them with. So why do most of us find public speaking so hard?

In this pithy but powerful guide, communication expert Dan Roam provides a simple five-step path to take us from jitters and complexity to confidence and clarity. He explains his tried-and-true visual techniques and the wisdom he has gained from giving award-winning presentations. Roam shows us how to:

· Clearly present any idea with simple visuals
· Know our audience before we step in front of them
· Channel fear into fun

Roam’s lively visual style, hand-drawn pictures, and vivid text will help regular people overcome anxiety and make brilliant presentations.

Dan Roam is the author of The Back of the Napkin, Fast Company’s Best Business Book of the Year and BusinessWeek’s Innovation and Design Book of the Year; and more recently Blah Blah Blah. He is the founder of Digital Roam, Inc., a management consulting company. He lives in San Francisco.
