Great book to stand on every startup´s and public speaker´s shelf.
It would be wise to pick it up every once in a while because many of the tips that David shares are evergreen.
I have made the "power of 3" my professional moto, cut all my presentations to 130 words/minute and I am beating my pitching nerves by learning the first 60 seconds by heart. See, three.
The only thing I don´t like are the dimensions of the book. It does not fit well with the rest on my shelf :)
...but just like in pitching, this is actually great. This book always stands out. It has so much more potential to be picked (up) than the rest that are all following the same format.

Aardig boek. Eerste deel (over pitchen) was scherper dan het tweede deel (powerpoint).
Ik heb het pitchcanvas in elk geval al wel gebruikt!
