Why you should read Life Is a Series of Presentations

The book jacket bills author Tony Jeary as "coach to America’s top CEOs." It doesn’t identify them, but the author clearly has a certain bold presentational style, and stressing his identity as a expert coach could be both a strategic and an educational tactic. The book’s content is evergreen, a mixture of hortatory slogans and amusing anecdotes, all designed to make you a better presenter - whether your audience is one listener or an auditorium full of people. The author’s advice is, for the most part, solid, detailed, practical and conservative. Don’t be too put off by a few dated examples (Bill Clinton and Gary Condit) and if you’re pressed for time just read the handy lists of "very important points" that close each chapter. getAbstract.com assures you that you can’t waste time reading this book. It’s that useful.
