• The Speaker’s Coach is a guide to making presentations that capture audiences’ attention. It is formatted in a fun, easy-to-read package that everyone can consume in small bits. However, it is packed with extremely relevant “tips and tricks” that anyone can utilize to communicate better with audiences.  
• This however does not imply that preparation and hard work are not necessary- quite the contrary- presentations require a deeper understanding of the subject and catering to the four essential questions on the mind of the audience- the why, the what, the how, and ‘what if’. Audiences are diverse and cannot be categorized into one block, but certain key factors remain common among everyone who attends a presentation.
