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.
