When I read Phillip Khan-Panni's first book, "2-4-6-8, How Do you Communicate?" I thought it was terrific. But when I read "Blank Page to First Draft in 15 Minutes" I thought it was even better. It is full of valuable information from beginning to end. It has everything I would ever want to know about preparing a speech or presentation.

Phillip's style is easy to read. He makes powerful, important points, then illustrates them with narratives that take the reader into the subject and makes it even easier to understand and recall.

This book not only gives you a simple-to-master template, it explains the underlying principles of effective presentations. As the author himself says, his purpose is to help you fashion your thoughts into messages that others will want to hear. At the end of the book he provides a complete checklist that you can consult when you have only a few moments to remind yourself of the essential steps -- at times when you have to make a speech or presentation with little or no notice.

For anyone who has to address audiences, large or small, this book is a must read. Whether you are a new member of Toastmasters International or the CEO of a large corporation, this book really ought to be on your shelf of essential reference works.

What's more, it makes a superb gift for colleagues and clients!
