Preparation is underrated. In fact, it is one of the most important factors in determining your communication successes.

Do you wish there was an accurate way to know if someone is telling the truth? This means you could almost instantly know if they're being honest or deceitful... if they like you or not... or whatever they might be thinking or feeling at the moment - simply by observing their actions and body movements! Amazing, isn't it? But that's not all... Since nonverbal communication is between 60 to 75% of the impact of a message, y ou could use the power of body language to become tremendously successful... in your career, business, relationships, love life, and anything else that involves interacting or communicating with people.

In the spirit of personal kaizen , I have listed below a few books that I read (or reread) over the past year that you may want to read as part of your own continuous improvement journey. (Clicking on the book's icon takes you to Amazon.com.) (1) Your Brain at Work: Strategies for Overcoming Distraction, Regaining Focus, and Working Smarter All Day Long . Over the last 10-20 years scientists have made many remarkable discoveries concerning the brain and how it works. David Rock is not a neuroscientist but he is a good "neurotranslator" of the scientific evidence and does a good job of explaining in clear terms how the brain works and how our own understanding of the brain can help us in school, work, and beyond. If you want a small taste of David's work watch this Authors at Google talk or this TEDx Blue talk.
Presentation time for regular papers = 12 minutes + 3 minutes for questions. If you choose to show a video or use any other form of multimedia presentation, this counts within your 12 minute time limit! IASTED attracts delegates with a diverse academic background.

Subscribe Weekly News A presentation is a formal talk to one or more people that "presents" ideas or information in a clear, structured way. People are sometimes afraid of speaking in public, but if you follow a few simple rules, giving a presentation is actually very easy.
Public speaking is a common source of stress for everyone. Many of us would like to avoid this problem entirely, but this is hard to do.
