Present yourself with power

Present yourself with power – Pauline van Aken

What Is the Aim of this Book?
This book offers insight into how you communicate and present yourself. It offers ways to improve your communication techniques and provides useful ideas on how you can put yourself on a higher level and be more relaxed in difficult situations. It will not only help you become a better presenter when you are in front of an audience, but will also give you the ability to present yourself with confidence in your daily life.

Giving a presentation or being interviewed can be a nightmare for many people. Some even prefer to let others do the speaking for them. But sometimes you just can’t get out of it. Your employer or a client may expect you to give a presentation, or perhaps you find yourself speaking to a journalist as the spokesperson in a given situation. There may also be times when you decide that you would like to say a few words in front of your family and friends, for example at a funeral or wedding.
Wouldn’t it be nice if, despite the emotions associated with the event, you were able to give a strong, composed, and captivating speech?

You are welcome to read this book in the order it is presented, or skip to a chapter or section that interests you or can help you the most. However, I would like to urge you, after you’ve finished reading this introduction, to read the next chapter, BIAAR Method en Pavalo Triangle. I will refer to these two paradigms throughout the book, and they are important cornerstones for your personal development and the development of your presentation skills. Further on in this Introduction, I will provide a brief explanation of the BIAAR Method and the Pavalo Triangle.
