Book Details
Description
Engineers and project managers, whether you are embarking on a new line of work, enjoying great successes, or maintaining the status quo, this book will provide you with ideas and inspiration to propel your career forward — on the wings of public speaking and storytelling.
The primary purpose of this book is to get project managers and engineers to commit to acquiring expertise in public speaking and storytelling. The secondary purpose is to provide (just) enough content (accompanied by exercises, examples and directions to other resources — i.e. the work of others) to keep the commitment strong and sustained over years.
This book has been conceived and created more as a product to be used in combination with other resources, than as a stand-alone book. It has been developed as a guide book providing course work. It has been conceived as an incubator of and companion to a self-development project, of minimum two years duration. It has been conceived with the intention that the reader will return to it multiple times over the duration of the self-development project, and read it along with other recommended books simultaneously.
By studying Necessary Bridges, you will:
• Learn the "why" and "how" of public speaking and storytelling
• Create a project charter for a multiyear self-development project called "Become an Expert Public Speaker and Storyteller"
• Assign explicit time and money commitments toward the project
• Seek out mentors
• Systematically articulate all you know about yourself — and complete an icebreaker speech project
• Get tools and resources to become a confident, motivated, and inspirational presenter
• Complete a wide range of exercises
• Understand the roots of glossophobia (fear of public speaking) and learn how to manage it
