Whether you want to win that new account or inspire your family and
friends, bestselling author and acclaimed speaker Mark Sanborn
shows us how to make every performance count.
Every day, we are called to perform- at work, at home, in
our communities. But is it possible to make every performance
outstanding, the kind that leaves people applauding for an
encore?
Mark Sanborn, leadership expert and bestselling author of The
Fred Factor, says that anyone can achieve remarkable
performance time after time-no matter what their personality,
strengths, or weaknesses. In The Encore Effect Sanborn
demonstrates, through his own experiences as well as those of the
people he's worked with in his career, how you can cultivate the
traits shared by remarkable performers and achieve extraordinary
results in all aspects of your life. The secrets lie in five
steps:
Passion: The fuel for remarkable performance
Prepare: How remarkable performance begins
Practice: It won't make you perfect, but it will make you
better
Perform: How to engage your audience
Polish: Making your performance shine
Whether your "stage" is an office, a sales floor, the boardroom, or
your own home, Sanborn's sound advice and rousing encouragement
will help you shine in every situation where it matters most.
