"Speak with Power and Confidence" offers tips on everything from preparing for a speech to sitting down for a job review to addressing a courtroom or the media. Learn how to: grab listeners' attention instantly; deliver presentations that help close a sale; gain the upper hand in negotiations; convey a positive, professional image in job interviews; and more. There's specific advice for a wide variety of situations and trusted tips for both verbal/non-verbal communication. When originally published by Prentice-Hall in 1998 (as "Say It With Power and Confidence"), this was named one of the best business books of the year by "Executive Summaries". A decade later, it remains the unsurpassed guide to honing confidence in speech. Patrick Collins has lectured and conducted seminars worldwide on negotiation and communication. He is Professor of Communications at the City University of New York.
