A Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller. A powerful way to master every performance in your career and life from a top business coach and former professional actor.
Every interaction is a performance, and much of our success—professional and personal—hinges on being able to inspire an audience. And while some people seem to be naturals in the spotlight, this ability very rarely derives from talent alone.

Confident communication is a skill, and anyone can learn how to do it.

In Steal the Show, New York Times best-selling author, top-rated corporate speaker, and former professional actor Michael Port teaches you how to make the most of your own moments in the spotlight. He makes it easy to give your presentations a clear focus, engage your listeners, manage your nerves, play the right role in every situation to give your message maximum impact, and much more.
Drawing on his MFA training at the prestigious Graduate Acting Program at New York University, Port has engineered a system that the non-actor can use to ensure his or her voice is heard when it matters most.
"An indispensable guide for introverts and extroverts alike."— Inc. Magazine

      With the adage that "All the world's a stage," Port (Book Yourself Solid) instructs readers how to make the most of every presentation and interaction. He utilizes insights from the field of acting to demonstrate how to take smart risks, imagine unfamiliar roles, and apply the secrets of improvisation when things go wrong, reminding potential speakers to consider how their audience will benefit from the talk, describe their point succinctly, and cut extraneous details that distract from the main idea. Port's handy "cheat sheet" of 50 public speaking tips concisely summarizes the text. VERDICT Required reading for anyone preparing for a job interview, serving in a leadership position, or speaking to the public.
