Be it presentations to colleagues or speeches to a room full of near strangers, we all want to shine…or at least get through it with our dignity intact. Luckily Philip Collins, former Chief Speech Writer to Tony Blair, knows exactly what’s needed to give a storming speech.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe secret, according to Philip, is content. Too many of us focus on \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e we’re presenting, and don’t spend enough time thinking about \u003ci\u003ewhat\u003c\/i\u003e we’re presenting. The secret to memorable, polished speeches is to think more about the material you’re sharing – to pay attention to detail and choose your works carefully. Speech writing is and art – and art we can all learn.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen the content’s right, the confidence will follow.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Speeches and Presentations\u003c\/i\u003e Philip Collins provides you with a concise set of tools, preparing you for any speaking occasion.

Here’s the answer – he isn’t just good, he is the best. It’s as simple as that. I spent years writing speeches for major politicians and I now speak publicly myself all the time, and yet there is so much that I can pick up from him and anyone who re4ads this book will too.”—\u003cb\u003eDaniel Finkelstein, Executive Editor, \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e and former speech writer to William Hague\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003ePhilip Collins\u003c\/b\u003e was, until 2007, Chief Speech Writer to Tony Blair.
