I particularly appreciate the German Speakers Association for the many interesting personalities I have met. One of them is the Swiss Thomas Skipwith. At the last GSA convention, I had talked to him for a long time. And his open and approachable manner made a deep impression on me. His mission is to ensure that there are only exciting, informative and convincing speeches and presentations in the world. Descubris is the name of his institute, which is based near Zurich in Switzerland.
I would like to give you a book recommendation:
The worm must taste good to the fish – present with power and rhetorical score
Millions of presentations are given every day. Unfortunately, mostly wrong. The audience is bored, does not know what the speaker is getting at. How do you present in such a tasty way that the audience immediately takes the bait? And how do you make sure that they don't get off the hook again during the presentation? Two masters from Switzerland in terms of rhetoric and presentation technique show how to do it. Thomas Skipwith and Reto B. Rüegger show how to convey specialist knowledge in a way that is appropriate for the target group, witty and structured: with gripping introductions, pithy statements, visual animations and convincing gestures. Whether for video conferences, congresses or in-house meetings: The authors have tips and tricks ready that will captivate and convince.
