.The Art of Public Speaking with Learning Tools Suite (Student CD-ROMs 5.0, Audio Abridgement CD set, PowerWeb, & Topic Finder)
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Skills
by: Stephen E Lucas

November 29, 2005
The product itself arrived in great condition as promised. However, I am extremely dissapointed with the way it was shipped to me. I chose to pay extra money to get the book to me the next day, a Friday, because I needed it for class. Unfortunatly, Amazon.com couldn't be bothered to get the package to me until Monday, which made my life very difficult. I wouldn't have even gotten the book on time for class on Monday if I hadn't called UPS and told them I was supposed to have gotten the book several days ago. I will not trust Amazon.com to get books to me with next day shipping ever again. If I need a book in a short amount of time I will be taking my business elsewhere.

.DeMark Indicators (Bloomberg Market Essentials: Technical Analysis)
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Skills
by: Jason Perl

September 28, 2008
I've been struggling for weeks now to recreate many of Demark's indicators for the Ninjatrader platform in C# - relying soley on the original explainations in Tom Demark's book. There are a lot of very detailed logic rules for these indicators that , if you blink, you'll miss a step in the procedure. Jason Perl's book is exactly what I have been looking for.
He breaks down each indicator in a top down pseudo code step by step format that makes understanding and code translation a breeze. There are also numerous Q & A's that I found extremely insighful.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

.On Speaking Well
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Skills
by: Peggy Noonan

February 17, 1999
Better know today as a conservative columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan also has a very strong pedigree as a political speech-writer for George H. Bush and Ronald Reagan.

In Simply Speaking she outlines very simply and coherently the basic rules of good speech writing and communication. As with most of the good books written on speech writing you are not likely to find major new insights. You will however find the key elements she addresses well illustrated with relevant speeches - many of which, by the way, she helped draft e.g. George H. Bush's acceptance speech at the Republican convention 1988 and Ronald Reagan's fortieth anniversary D-Day speech at Pointe du Hoc. Noonan goes through the speeches in detail, helping the reader ...

.Thank You for Arguing: What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us About the Art of Persuasion
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Skills
by: Jay Heinrichs

February 27, 2007
The art of persuasion involves moving the audience
in a positive direction prompted by the speaker.
Few books deal with the subject in any major way.
To do this, a motivational speaker must talk the language
of the audience. Expectations must be met to some considerable
extent. Above all, the speaker must come to know the audience.

There are various logical techniques for targeting an audience.
For example, aporia involves wondering openly about complex
issues or choices. Phronesis involves convincing the audience
that you can solve a problem through practical wisdom.

A condition precedent to successful implementation is
empathizing with the audience. Don't appear tricky and
be ... Read More:

.How to Say It For Women: Communicating with Confidence and Power Using the Language of Success
City Travel Guides > Books > Business Skills
by: Phyllis Mindell

January 02, 2001
In the course of a year, I met the two most articulate, elegantly spoken people I have ever encountered. One was a (male) CEO of a large company. The other was a (female) public relations person working in the entertainment industry. I did business with the former and became close friends with the latter. Both made me feel just a little inadequate about my use of language. I knew I was far more intelligent than my speech presented. One day, after listening to my friend say one of her gorgeously precise sentences, I asked her where she had learned to speak so powerfully, always able to find the most effective word, always able to form them into the most on-the-mark sentences. Her answer was this book.

I would never have picked it up on my own. The "for ... Read More:
