5.0 out of 5 stars Has Helped Me Already, March 13, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Maximize Your Presentation Skills: How to Speak, Look and Act on Your Way to the Top (Paperback)
I work in high tech and have had problems when I've been asked to present to senior management. I fall apart. Ellen Kaye's clear concise advice, especially Chapter 2 Conversations, has made me keenly aware of some bad habits. I have already changed a number of things that I do as a result of reading this book and my boss has commented on it.

This is a must read for anyone in the business world!

If you're looking for a presentation skills book, this is the wrong book to buy. It deals mainly with Business Etiquette--how to make an entrance, how to shake hands, how to enter a room invisibly if you're late for a meeting, what to do on a bad hair day, etc.

You won't be shown how to plan your opening, organize your slides, deliver your ideas, or deal with difficult questions at the end of your presentation.

Then there are some other problems that made the author lose this reader's respect. For example, did you know that Lao Tzu--that seminal Chinese philosopher from around 500 BC--was a famous communication and image coach? (It's on p. 19.)

From the number of stars it has received from other reviewers, it is clear that several people found this book helpful. It must fulfill a certain need. However, I was looking for a presentation skills book (I provide training in Taiwan to help Chinese businesspeople present their ideas to Americans and Europeans. [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars What I was looking for, January 4, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Maximize Your Presentation Skills: How to Speak, Look and Act on Your Way to the Top (Paperback)
It's what I wanted. The writer teaches how to dress and act in meetings and presentations. What to do and what not to do.
