Who Packs Your Presenter’s Parachute? is a short guide for those interested in working on their
presentation skills. The
author is a professional
speaker, author and business consultant. She has also served as an Army captain, paratrooper, and corporate manager. Despite these impressive qualifications, the author is not a natural
public speaker. Sometimes her presentational equipment doesn’t work. She sometimes gets tongue-tied at the worst times. She even feels her knees go weak just like many of us have had happen. However, instead of pretending she is this infallible
speaking machine, the author teaches the reader that they can survive and learn from these situations. Who Packs Your Presenter’s Parachute? reminds us that speaking in public isn’t about getting the
speech perfect. It is about connecting with your
audience. Showing your willingness to serve your audience’s needs and being passionate about your subject are much more likely to allow you to make this important connection.
