I have had to speak in front of crowds for over 30 years. I wish I would have had this book 31 years ago. Easy read and good tips. At the end of the day you have to practice but you should practice using this as a reference.
This is a must have and must read for every professional that routinely conducts presentations. Even if you don't present routinely, you need to read this book because it is especially for you. This is a very quick and easy read to help you perform your briefings better whether it is digitally or in person. This is one I will definitely keep in my library, and it's filled with lots of highlights and notes. I strongly recommend this book.
Lots of practical and useful tips. Some not particularly original; many seem to be common sense. But there was some real useful information there that I will use.
