Best book ever on presentations,
By Michael Buschmohle (Issaquah, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moving Mountains: Or the Art and Craft of Letting Others See Things Your Way (Paperback)
Seek this book. I've read books on presentations for 40 years and teach public speaking across America. This is the most insightful book, in fact the very best book I've ever read, period. The psychological savvy into groups, the chapter on graphics and visuals, the hundreds of little tips and techniques is unmatched. His emphasis on meeting the audience's needs is brilliant. I've been using Boettinger's ideas for more than 20 years they've helped me earn more than a million dollars and still no author has matched his fluent style, novel-like descriptions, and breath of knowledge. Search and purchase.

Best book ever on presentations,
By Michael Buschmohle (Issaquah, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moving Mountains: Or the Art and Craft of Letting Others See Things Your Way (Paperback)
I've read books on public speaking and making presentations for 40 years. I've been a priest, trainer, speech coach for Microsoft, speech writer for a Supreme Court Chief Justice in Washington State, and coach of people who appear on television. Moving Mountains is so insightful that I have passed on Boettinger's ideas for the past 20 some years. No one source has more insights into human nature, graphics, and persuasion and is written in lush, practical language. Simply the best book I have ever read. Period.

How to take deadly aim with a presentation - and win!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Moving Mountains: Or the Art and Craft of Letting Others See Things Your Way (Paperback)
If it comes back into print - buy this book! Moving Mountains was written long before Microsoft Powerpoint and similar presentation programs became popular, so it focuses on style, content, and knowing your audience. Tips include how to present a pre-draft of an external presentation to your management (don't have totally polished copy - leave room for them to make their mark), and how to salvage a hopeless presentation the night before (re-write the text so it focuses primarily on "you"). This book is worth a wait. See if it comes back into print - or (gasp) head for your local library. Very highly recommended
