The Re-Engineered Engineer

One of the toughest problems with employing and investing in smart people is that most people don't understand how to convey important information effectively.


This book will help employees "re-engineer" to:


Communicate, influence and engage others, even those without a technical degree:


Master the art of stating clearly situation's impact on operations, people and the bottom line;

Become a sought-after presenter;

Maximize the outcome of any presentation, whether it's a conference call, executive meeting, training session or speech.


EXCERPT FROM THE INTRODUCTION

Engineers often do not recognize the need to become exceptional speakers. They don't believe they can deliver technical material in engaging and memorable ways.


The good news is that all it takes for an engineer or anyone to become a great speaker is for them to learn the strategies and tips and apply them. I should know, I am an engineer of 30 years who has conveyed some complicated information to tough audiences. The strategies, tips and advice you'll find in this book come from my years of research into what does and does not work.


Now I know how to plan effective presentations that have clearly stated points and objectives. I deliver my talks with ease and energy, and I use analogies, vignettes, stories, statistics, rhetorical questions, quotations and interactive exercises that audiences can relate to. When asked questions, I give answers that are clear and to the point.


Being able to do all that yourself is only part of what you can look forward to when you read this book and follow its advice.
