About the Book
You’ve likely had to sit through many dozens of non-persuasive, uninspiring, and completely forgettable presentations in school and at work. If you’ve seen either of the Top Gun movies, you understand that to survive in combat requires a level of oral communication skill significantly higher than what passes as acceptable in today’s working environment. In Tell It Like a TOPGUN, it goes beyond the mechanics (the how and what) taught in most presentation skills books to reveal the art and neuroscience (the why) to produce Persuasive, Inspiring, and Captivativing talks.
Of the thousands of talks the author has given, his most difficult and memorable was the eulogy at Arlington National Cemetery for his friend CAPT David M. Brown, USN, a crewmember of the ill-fated Columbia Space Shuttle that disintegrated on its return to earth. In honor of their relationship, we are donating 50% of all Amazon royalty payments thru May 2025 to the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF) to help the next generation of astronauts fulfill their dreams.
