Description

In “Bring Home the Bacon” you’ll learn Larry Tracy’s S3P3 System for delivering persuasive presentations that can make you an influential leader. So effective was this system for Larry that President Ronald Reagan called him “An extraordinarily effective speaker.”

This easily-learned method can be used in any speaking situation. The book flows from Larry’s “been there, done that” experience in high-pressure speaking situations. He is a retired Army colonel who served as Senior Intelligence Briefer to the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff (CJCS) in various crises during the Cold War. The White House later detailed him to the State Department to debate controversial issues before demanding audiences throughout the country.

He’s been cited as one of the top speech coaches in the US in the books Information Please Business Almanac and Sourcebook, Best of the Best, and What to Say When You’re Dying on the Platform.

In Bring Home the Bacon, you’ll learn to:

- Make “fear of public speaking” your ally by using it to generate enthusiasm

- Draft your presentation backwards to develop coherence and focus

- Gain from your mistakes with a practice method similar to a “flight simulator”

- Acquire “intelligence” on the problems of audience members so you can solve them

- Use non-verbals-body language and voice-to reinforce your message

- Employ “Shortcuts to Eloquence” to make you appear to be an experienced speaker

- Answer questions in such a way that you increase your credibility with the audience

- Avoid “Death by PowerPoint” while using the program to enhance your presentation

In BRING HOME THE BACON, Tracy — one of the top speech coaches in the US — coaches you to:

 - Use “fear of public speaking” to generate enthusiasm
 - Draft your presentation backwards to develop coherence and focus 
 - Gain from mistakes with a practice method similar to a “flight simulator” 
 - Acquire “intelligence” on the problems of audience members so you can solve them
 - Use non-verbals — body language and voice — to reinforce your message
 - Employ “Shortcuts to Eloquence” to make you appear to be an experienced speaker 
 - Answer questions in such a way increases your credibility
 - Avoid “Death by PowerPoint” while using the program to enhance your presentation

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to speak and present more effectively, which in my estimation could be all of us! 5/5

Author Larry Tracy delivers what he promises in his book, Bring Home the Bacon. Do you excel at delivering persuasive presentations? Are you easily able to get buy-in from from any audience you are presenting to? Are you comfortable with question and answer sessions? If you answered "no" or even "sometimes" to either of these questions, then this book is for you! Larry is a seasoned communication coach. who shares insight into how to become not just a better presenter, but a stellar speaker. The keystone of this book is the SP3P model of presenting. This, combined with the 3Cs of public speaking and the 3-1-2 system outlined in the book is what you need to go from good to great.

Thank you to Net Galley and Books Gone Social for an e-ARC of this title. Ironically I was able to read it just before I had to be in public, not giving speeches, but speaking. The book was very helpful, and I know I'll go back through and read it again to make sure I got as much as a could for it. I'd recommend this book.

This book should be added to all college speech classes if it's not already on the list! I would have loved to have had this advice years ago. Great info for anyone who has to perform in front of one,many or a camera!
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed are my own.

What do you fear most? Many people would answer, “speaking in public.” But, it’s possible to improve your speaking skills. Author Larry Tracy, a retired Army Colonel and now a top speech coach has written a concise, yet thorough guide to effective public speaking.

He begins by explaining that most of us are much more familiar with writing, than speaking. So, we must learn to be good speakers, by preparing, planning, practicing, and presenting. We then must learn how to speak with credibility, clarity and conviction. Then, we must aim to be eloquent. Speaking today is actually done using a conversation style. Some important takeaways: research your audience, begin your speech with your ending, practice before a group, and be prepared for the Q and A session.

This is a good overview of public speaking. More examples would have helped, but I can recommend this book as a useful tool to have. Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for a review copy.
