An introduction to speaking publicly or via the media for GPs

Giving you the power to say what you want to say and to say it well. This is the world of the soundbite, the app, the tweet, the word cloud. It's a world of 24-hour rolling news... of vox pops, webcasts and video clips. In business today, you are expected to be able to communicate quickly and simply: » to hit the right note » to come across well » to create memory. Whether it's talking via broadcast or narrowcast TV, on radio, to the press, or presenting to an audience, live or virtual, the right preparation gives you the power to say what you want to say and to say it well.
