Can you move your next audience from "point A" to "point B?"
"Presentations That Change Minds", the first book written exclusively on the persuasive presentation, shows how to move your next audience.


Every audience needs a different persuasive approach. Some are moved by logic, others by emotion. Some audiences need to see a problem solved or a return on investment, others are persuaded though an inspiring message. Each approach is done differently. You plan, create, and share a presentation that persuades through logic differently than one that persuades through an inspirational message. This book shows you how to succeed at all approaches!


About the book:

Through two surveys on thousands of presentation professionals, (see survey results), research on the most persuasive presenters of our time, and dozens of contemporary interviews, author, Josh Gordon, has identified the only 14 persuasive strategies you will ever need to dramatically increase your persuasion power.



  Each of these 14 strategies is a chapter which contains: 
A real world example of how a well known public figure used the strategy 
  
An explanation of how the strategy changes an audience’s mind 
  
Dangerous assumptions to avoid 
 
Ways to anticipate and find opportunity 
  
Preparation tactics so you face every audience with a plan to win and with  winning confidence    
        
Presentation tips for maximum impact
Specific ways of securing commitment, change, or a sale
