Bring Home the Bacon: Become a Persuasive Leader with the Proven S3p3 System
Some people are born leaders, blessed with the innate ability to motivate, inspire and lead. The rest of us require a system to achieve those goals through the spoken word. That's what you'll find in this book-the proven S3P3 System that resulted in President Ronald Reagan describing Larry Tracy as "An extraordinarily effective speaker.
A SPECIAL BONUS This book contains two valuable Appendices.
The first is Larry's widely-acclaimed article "Taming Hostile Audiences: Persuading Those Who Would Rather Jeer Than Cheer." It was originally a speech he delivered to professional speakers, and was then published in the two leading magazines on the art of speaking, Vital Speeches of the Day and American Speaker.
The second is an essay he wrote for Project managers who must teams of technical experts delivering oral presentations for government contracts. The title? "Model for a Winning Oral Presentation: The Philly Cheesesteak."
Larry is a retired U.S. Army colonel, with many of his assignments focused on speaking and briefing. In one of these he was the Senior Intelligence Briefer to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The White House later detailed him to the State Department to debate contentious foreign policy and national security issues at universities. The book cover says the S3P3 System is "proven." Why? Because if he was ineffective in that and other high-level assignments, he would have been fired. The S3P3 System worked for him, and it will work for you.
"Bring Home the Bacon" provides you the skill sets to become an influential leader by delivering persuasive presentations. You'll learn to:
- Make "fear of public speaking" your ally by using it to generate enthusiasm

- Employ "Shortcuts to Eloquence" to add to your polish
- Answer questions in such a way that you increase your credibility
- Avoid "Death by PowerPoint" while using the program to enhance your presentation
The S3P3 System will empower you to become a leader who influence others with your words, perhaps the most imprtant skill a person can posssess in the 21st century.
