Present like a Pro is a must-have book for everyone who wants to get better public speaking. It uncovers so many aspects of the presentation, what to do before you deliver the talk, what to do after, how to connect with your audience, how to use a microphone and PowerPoint slides, and so much more. This book might be not on a bestseller list but surely the one I will have in my personal library for multiple reviews. Thank you, Cindi and Kevin, for your coaching throughout 250+ pages of useful material!
