Friday’s upcoming events

Several marketing and communications books books of interest to authors, coaches, consultants, and self-employed professionals will be appearing during the first few months of 2009. These include:

David Meerman Scott is an established thought leader who is on Published & Profitable Editorial Board. His New Rules of Marketing & PR redefined the way authors can profit from social media marketing tools like blogs.

In World Wide Rave, David takes his ideas a step further. In his words: “A World Wide Rave is when people around the world are talking about you, your company, and your products…when global communities eagerly link to your stuff on the Web….when online buzz drives buyers to your virtual doorstep. And it’s when tons of fans visit your Web site and your blog because they genuinely want to be there.

Another important new book for authors who rely on presentations to promote their book and their career is Jerry Weissman’s The Power Presenter: Technique, Style, and Strategy from America’s Top Speaking Coach.

You can learn to succeed from the most successful presentation coach in the World. Learn the same techniques that enabled Yahoo, Cisco Systems, and Dolby Labs to raise hundreds of billions of dollars in the stock market. Jerry Weissman brings a decade of experience at CBS and nearly two decades of experience with Fortune 500 companies to help you:

• Develop a compelling story
• Design dazzling slides
• Conquer your fear of public speaking
• Present with confidence
• Handle tough questions
