I Can See You Naked

by Ron Hoff

I Can See You Naked Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"I can see you naked" - visualizing audiences in the buff, as a counter to nervousness - has been taught by presentation experts for years. In this revised edition of "I Can See You Naked" - a delightful guide to presentations of all kinds - Ron Hoff begins by dismissing the technique. "Never talk to a naked audience", is his advice. It's too distracting. "I Can See You Naked" is the first book on making presentations that doesn't read like a textbook. The first book to sound like a presentation, look like a presentation, and "play" like a presentation. It is, in fact, a funny, irreverent, entertaining, and highly effective presentation on presentations. And it is a publishing success story - the first edition went back to press seven times and sold well over 100,000 copies. It has been a selection of sixteen book clubs. After four years of success, "I Can See You Naked" is now even better. This fearless new edition of the national bestseller on making great presentations has been extensively revised by author Ron Hoff, making it 25 percent larger than the first edition. It features 16 emphatic new chapters, new illustrations by Barrie Maguire, new photographs, new sidebars and panels, new nuggets to treasure, and scores of ideas ready for use in your next presentation. Why a revised edition? Because a lot has happened to presentations in four years. New to this edition are dynamic new chapters including "The Deadly Game" - how to win competitive presentations; Stand or sit? What's a presenter to do?; "How do you create excitement if you're not Madonna, Prince, or Zig Ziglar?"; "Great props don't have to be proper"; How to make a speech in a strange hotel; Questions that often floatthrough the minds of audiences; Ten points to pin to the wall before your next one-on-one and a guide to "relationships" - the hot, new word in making presentations. Packed with insightful case studies, and personal anecdotes, "I Can See You Naked" clearly and succinctly addre

I was just 19 years old when I first read the book, and now, 11 years after, I still dream of it! You see, I don't own a copy of the book, yet everything I learned from reading it at the school library helped me land a great job now. It was funny, but the fun did not stop the enlightenment that came with the book. It was worth reading and reading a thousand times over because of its inherent hilarity that ironically makes the reader learn more than being actually trained to speak onstage. The book was training in the form of print! Thanks for publishing it.
