Whether you're an occasional speaker or a regular presenter, Harry Mills' Power Points! is a must-have for making all of your presentations more compelling.

The book goes well beyond the expected, offering advice and strategies for:
- influencing any type of audience
- structuring your presentation for maximum impact
- selecting visuals that inform and persuade
- delivering your presentation with panache

The book's illustrations are stunning examples of Mills' concept of using visuals to powerfully complement, not compete with, your delivery. The included CD is packed with sample presentations, templates and graphics.

In sum, with Power Points! you'll not only learn how to use PowerPoint more effectively but how to plan, compose and deliver more informative, inspiring and influential presentations. I highly recommend it!

The missing link.Putting to one side the technical aspects of Powerpoint this book cuts straight to the chase on how to make your presentation compelling. If like me you use Powerpoint regularly you will be familiar with the "here we go again" expression. This is a hands on what to do and why.The cd alone with its great templates icons etc is worth the price. If your presentations don't improve it's not the books fault :-)

POWER POINTS! HOW TO DESIGN & DELIVER PRESENTATIONS THAT SIZZLE AND SELL focuses on presentations and speeches which add drama and sizzle to business pursuits, and pairs insights on PowerPoint with overall tips on public speaking to make for much more than your typical PowerPoint presentation handbook. From using calming techniques to overcome stage fright to adding stories and humor to spice a presentation, every business manager and any involved in making presentations or lending books to business professionals needs POWER POINTS!

If you are selling vacuum cleaners this book will help you with the presentation. For my work this book hasn't been much help. Truly if I am selling some product this book will help with those presentations. For the types I do this book as well as other Power Point books haven't been much help.
We need someone who can write a designing Power Point book that will help Preachers with their sermons or Teachers with their class lessons. I guess that book is still to be written. If anyone finds a book that helps with that let me know. The CD wasn't that great that came with the book. I had a very hard time getting it to work with Power Point for the Macintosh. I had to change the extension to get the files opened.
