4.0 out of 5 stars Concise and to the point, good for a beginner, March 1, 1999

This review is from: Effective Presentation Skills: A Practical Guide for Better Speaking (A Fifty Minute Series Book) (Paperback)

I would say if you never put a presentation together, or looking for few ideas in putting a presentation together, this book is for you. The material is concise and gives good backgound on how to put a professional presentation together. I recommend it to a beginning managers and executives that want to evalute their presentation mode.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good basics, but needs updating, July 19, 2000

By 

Eric L Anderson - See all my reviews

This review is from: Effective Presentation Skills: A Practical Guide for Better Speaking (A Fifty Minute Series Book) (Paperback)

This book does a good job covering the many basics of making an effective presentation, including dealing with anxiety, personal appearance, planning and preparation. However, it needs to be updated to reflect the many changes in presentation technology (and technology in general) since 1993 that are available to the presenter.

For example, to quote from page 55, "CD-ROM Players--These 'read only' players (you can't record onto them from your own computer, yet!) can hold a gigantic amount of information. Some disks contain an entire encyclopedia. These devices can store color photographs, video clips, sound clips, huge data bases and other types of information that require a lot of memory. There is new technology available that will allow you to take a photograph, have it transferred to a CD-ROM disk and then bring it up on your computer screen." What next, phones without wires? Overall a good book on the subject of preparing for and delivering presentations as long as you're not looking for any tips on PowerPoint or technology-based presentations.
