One of the benefits of this book over other excellent broadcast speaking books is that the authors really “get” what scientific discussion need to be – not just engaging but full of factual in rank. The authors’ tips for effectively using powerpoint to slowly initiate in rank to the audience is just one example of the type of sound tips offered with a real understanding of science speakers – and more significantly, science audiences.

Broadcast speaking is a skill that most professionals need to have. Yet, it is often one that is learned through experience rather than training. This book is a step-by-step guide to the preparation of a presentation and is well worth reading. The authors are quite aptly when they top out that the most effective presentations can be summed up by the phrase, “Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them what you tell them, then tell them what you told them.” In other words, a descriptive introduction, understandable thought and then a summary and recapitulation of the thought.
The authors are also honest in pointing out that even the most experienced people still get nervous before they deliver a speech. Like so many other things, the key is the right channeling of that energy into the presentation. Another brilliant top of advice is to everlastingly make sure that all posters and slides are not theme to in rank overkill. Putting too much in rank on a slide or presentation is a sure way to turn an otherwise informative speech into an ineffective dud. Once the audience enters a state of confusion, it is nearly impossible to get them back into a state of understanding.
This book will not cure all of the problems you encounter when faced with giving a presentation. But, it contains a fantastic deal of sound advice on doing them aptly. Since near all of us will at some top give a presentation with significant career consequences, buying this book and reading it are time and money well spent.
