Being in the spotlight puts you on the spot. Especially if your audience includes a demanding boss, competitive peers, or fault-finding clients. But here are real answers to help you take control of business presentations ... cultivate a golden tongue ... and project an inner confidence that can supercharge your career. All delivered with a rare blend of visual sophistication and informational know-how that other books sorely lack. Created for people with no time to waste, Business Presentations and Public Speaking is your guide to becoming a powerful persuader. You'll learn all about different types of presentations, creating the content, working the audience, using low-tech and high-tech visuals, and much more. And soon you'll be anticipating your next presentation rather than dreading it, because it will be your opportunity to shine. First Books for Business are vividly colorful guides of 50 quick-read chapters that take the mystery out of essential business topics. A wealth of features like worksheets, checklists, and frequently asked questions also help you walk the walk and talk the talk.

Old Wives' Tales: Are they really words of wisdom or just plain nonsense? -Does cracking your knuckles cause arthritis? -Can microwave ovens make men sterile/ -Is it true that swallowed chewing gum never digests? These are the words we heard at Grandma's knee-the raw horse sense we've counted on to guide us through life. But are these words to live by or just dangerous outdated myths? Readers will be surprised to learn that many of these tales are actually good sound advice-a leaf of cabbage, for instance, really will work to reduce swelling. And it's also true that an oatmeal bath can help cure poison ivy. But other old wives' tales are not only false ("Lemon juice will get rid of freckles") but often downright dangerous ("Press a half-dollar to a wound to stop the bleeding"). From the profound to the preposterous, Sneezing After Sex Prevents Pregnancy is a funny and informative look at the words of dear old Grandma.
