Some time ago, I signed up for SlideShare, probably intending to upload a PowerPoint presentation from one of my speaking engagements. However, since my slides are generally designed to enhance what I’m saying, I’ve never felt that they stood on their own merit, so I’ve never got around to doing anything on the site.
Despite the lack of activity on my account, a number of people have found my profile and decided to follow me on SlideShare, and every time I receive a notification, I wonder if I’m missing out on an opportunity. So, when I was offered a review copy of Present Yourself: Using SlideShare to Grow Your Business, I was thrilled.
For some reason, I expected it to contain helpful tips for creating great presentations – something along the lines of Why Most PowerPoint Presentations Suck by Rick Altman – but although it touches on the advantages of presenting data visually rather than by using just words and numbers, that’s not the book’s main focus.
