Decent read. Took forever for a variety of reasons that had little to do with the actual book.

A lot of the presentation skills and tips / tricks / etc presented were fairly familiar to me through my experiences in public speaking, in Toastmasters, and as an instructor. Nevertheless ~ it's nice to have a solid reference source to flip through with a number of references for each chapter to quickly turn to for ideas, inspiration, or clarification of techniques when changing things up or drafting a new program.

Will likely reference again throughout the years.
