Public Speaking for Psychologists : A Lighthearted Guide to Research Presentations, Job Talks, and Other Opportunities to Embarrass Yourself Paperback / softback
by David B. Feldman, Paul J. Silvia
Paperback / softback
Description
Public Speaking for Psychologists is a practical and lighthearted guide to planning, designing, and delivering a presentation. Public speaking is one of the most common fears. Few people look forward to talking in front of others and even fewer do it as effectively as they could.
A career in psychology and its related fields involves extensive public speaking, so you will need to learn to do it well.
With time and practice, you too can become a confident and effective presenter. The first half of Public Speaking for Psychologists covers the nuts-and-bolts of public speaking: preparing a talk, submitting an abstract, developing your slides, managing anxiety, handling questions, and preventing public-speaking disasters.
The second half applies these tips to common presentations, such as research talks, poster presentations, job talks, and talks to lay audiences.
Throughout the book, the authors-both experienced presenters-offer realistic advice, useful tips, and humorous stories of embarrassing mistakes they'll never make again.
