About this ebook
A Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller. A powerful way to master every performance in your career and life from a top business coach and former professional actor.
Every interaction is a performance, and much of our success—professional and personal—hinges on our communication skills and being able to inspire an audience. And while some people seem to be naturals in the spotlight, this ability very rarely derives from talent alone.
Confident communication is a skill, and anyone can learn how to do it.
In Steal the Show, New York Times best-selling author, top-rated corporate speaker, and former professional actor Michael Port teaches you how to make the most of your own moments in the spotlight. He makes it easy to give your presentations a clear focus, engage your listeners, manage your nerves and overcome stage fright, play the right role in every situation to give your message maximum impact, and much more.
Drawing on his MFA training at the prestigious Graduate Acting Program at New York University, Port has engineered a system that the non-actor can use to ensure his or her voice is heard when it matters most, from job interviews to deal-closing pitches.
“An indispensable guide for introverts and extroverts alike.”— Inc. Magazine

I'm not sure if others experienced this, but the electronic version of this book via the web cuts off the final chapter (Cheat Sheet) and so does the mobile version. Instead of 50 items as stated, the online version gives 37 and the mobile version only 18. If it was sort of trick by the author to cut the list short, I would think he would at least make different versions of the list the same length. Anyway, I skipped to the end to get an overview. I haven't read the whole book yet. So I can only say 3 stars for now.
