This review is from: Perfect Phrases for Executive Presentations: Hundreds of Ready-to-Use Phrases to Use to Communicate Your Strategy and Vision When the Stakes Are High (Perfect Phrases Series) (Paperback)

This book is too basic and repetitive for experienced presenters, but extremely useful for those who are very new to the field, lack confidence, and/or are non-native speakers of English. It presents exact phrases, even entire speeches, for a variety of situations (including formal events). This can be great jumping-off point if you're unsure of yourself in this kind of situation. Although not written for this particular purpose, the book is an excellent choice for any international businessperson who is new to making presentations to Americans and is not 100% confident speaking in English.

This review is from: Perfect Phrases for Executive Presentations: Hundreds of Ready-to-Use Phrases to Use to Communicate Your Strategy and Vision When the Stakes Are High (Perfect Phrases Series) (Paperback)

This work has a wide variety of phrases but many have become tired from over-use. It's a good place to start but don't look to it for fresh ideas.

Perfect Phrases for Executive Presentations is a basic reference or refresher for people who are just beginning to write or speak at a Senior Manager level. It is not as much help for those already engaged in working with executives. (Well, it did affirm what I have been doing all along:-). It would have been nice to have had this 10-15 years ago.
