Book Reviews of In the Line of Fire: How to Handle Tough Questions...When It Counts
Book Review: 5 Reasons Why every Presenter MUST Read This Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Would you like to be prepared to handle tough "on the spot" questions during business presentations or social situations? This is the only book that outlines the set of skills that produce the best outcome when you're "In the Line of Fire".
Here are 3 reasons to read this book.
1) Learn how to produce a positive impression in business presentations or social situations by exhibiting specific behavior during a Q & A cycle. His suggestions could mean the difference between winning or losing your audience in as little as 5 seconds.
2) Learn two simple methods that enable you to concentrate on a questioner's words, and identify the essence of the question, so that you don't make the fatal mistake of missing the point of the question and putting your foot in your mouth.
3) Learn a powerful technique that produces a strong, confident and conclusive answer to a challenging question.
I recommend this book to ALL of my Executive Coaching Clients. This is critical to success in business.
I will refer to it every time I make a presentation. This will be the question and answer model I follow along with "Presenting to Win" (my Public Speaking Bible)!
