For immediate release Staten Island Author Makes Speakers Sizzle Staten Island, NY: November 11, 1998 -- Life is a presentation and you are on stage. Whether you are the CEO of a large corporation, a management consultant, or simply in business for yourself, your public speaking skills are crucial to your success. In today's marketplace, choices abound and often what separates one person or product from another is the presentation. Walden Books at the Staten Island Mall presents Diane DiResta, a Staten Island business owner and author of Knockout Presentations, (Chandler House Press: Oct, 1998, $15.95). DiResta will be signing her new book, which offers invaluable information on how to make your presentation sizzle. Aimed at executives, managers, sales professionals, trainers, small business owners, or anyone who may find themselves in the public speaking realm, Knockout Presentations is a speaking boot camp. DiResta starts with the basics and takes you through more advanced public speaking techniques, essentially providing a workshop in a book. Unlike similar books in the market, which focus on the "how" of speaking, the author, instead, concentrates on the "why." Whether you are addressing one person or an entire auditorium, DiResta stresses the importance of the speaker connecting with the audience. Be it simple humor, or letting the audience know you've been in their situation, by developing this connection, a speaker immediately gains credibility and a captive ear. In the competitive job market we all face, effective presenters are more easily promotable, often make more money, establish long-lasting, beneficial relationships, and are generally perceived in a more positive light. Drawing from fifteen years of experience working at numerous organizations including, AT&T, Chase Manhattan Bank, Grey Advertising, IBM, the NBA, Staten Island University Hospital, Staten Island Chamber of Commerce, and Business and Professional Women, Diane DiResta presents her readers with simple, user-friendly concepts to improve their speaking and communication skills. PART 1: GETTING STARTED PART 2: STAGE PRESENCE PART 3: STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION PART 4: STAGING THE PRESENTATION PART 5: SPECIAL SITUATIONS Whether your platform is the boardroom or the kitchen table, Knockout Presentations is packed with solid advice for both individuals and corporations who want to stand out from the crowd through stronger presentation skills. The book signing will take place at Walden Books, Staten Island Mall on December 5th from 2:00 to 3:00 PM.
