Praise for Being Heard: Presentation
Skills for Attorneys
Faith Pincus provides a comprehensive, well-written road map to mastering
the art of presentation skills.From researching the audience, to creating
the perfect message, to body language and delivery tips, this wide-reaching
book gives you everything you need to know to hit it out of the park in
terms of both context and content.Although there is an emphasis on
publicspeaking, the wisdom in this book can benefit anyone preparing for
any type of speaking engagement, from a speech to your local homeowners’
association to a creative toast at your best friend’s wedding to a hardball
interview on national television.

efficiently and effectively in this short, concise, and clear review of practical
approaches and reminders for effective communication in both formal
and informal settings, whether preparing for oral argument, speaking at a
public meeting, or making a short presentation at a club meeting or other
more impromptu setting. Faith has compiled suggestions and checklists
many of us have used and all too often forgotten or, if new to the arena,
simply need to know and use. I am going to put my copy of this book on
my reference shelf right next to The Elements of Style.

of Appeal and I can say, if you are a practicing attorney, read this book.In
clear, conversational, and gripping fashion, Faith Pincus demonstrates that
