Book Description

January 1, 2006
Sooner or later, everyone has to give a presentation, whether at work (a sales call, a briefing to the boss, participating in a seminar) or in personal life (a class report, speaking at a community organization, leading a program at church or synagogue). Yet the idea of getting up in front of others absolutely terrifies many people. This handy guide shows readers how to overcome their fear and create a great presentation quickly and easily. Written by small business expert and syndicated columnist Rhonda Abrams, this book covers all the most important aspects of developing and delivering a successful presentation, including: content; organizing an effective message; delivery techniques such as pacing, humor, statistics, and storytelling; handouts, graphs, charts, and other tools; managing the Q&A; making a good impression; and conquering stage fright. Also included are equipment tips and techniques for videoconferences and teleconferences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helped me give a great presentation!, February 6, 2006
This review is from: Winning Presentation in a Day: Get It Done Right, Get It Done Fast (Paperback)
Even though I have to give a lot of reports, I was asked to speak to a somewhat larger audience that I was used to, and I bought this book because I've really liked other books I've had by Rhonda Abrams. It helped me focus and decide on my "core message" and I really liked the concept of a "building" for organizing my key points. I found this book to be very helpful, easy to use, I liked the graphics. Because I'm already strong in PowerPoint, I didn't really need the sections on how to use PowerPoint -- although they looked like they would really be helpful to someone who was new or who wanted to add a little extra zip to their PPT slides. I also liked that the book helped me figure out what to leave out of my presentation too. And, believe it or not, it helped me improve my presentation in much less than a day -- the time the title promised.
