Customer Reviews
Very good - little surprised not more reviews
I picked this book up at a store, and would not have bought on Amazon because of the lack of reviews, which I am very surprised about. This books is a very nice review of what you need to know to give a great presentation. Net, covers the major topics, hits on the key points to think about what your audience wants to here. I have read, many, many books on presenting and thought this was very good. Very comfortable recommending.
Getting the best of obnoxious people can be fun...
Here's hoping that you're not in my shoes, but even so, Presentations for Dummies can make life go down a little smoother. There's no need to dread that next encounter with an overbearing in-law or neighbor. With just a little practice using the strategies outlined in this book, you'll look forward to these war games.
