Recommendation

This book is different from many other volumes of useful presentation tips in that it provides a sequential process that eliminates any uncertainty about the quality of what you are going to say. Professional speaker and presentation consultant Graham Davies provides a rigorous, adaptable method for writing and delivering an effective speech, no matter what the situation and how little notice you have. While his visual material can be a little disorganized, his style is straightforwardly blunt, sometimes to the point of being confrontational (if a sprinkling of coarse language upsets you, be forewarned). Nonetheless, getAbstract finds he offers a proven, easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach to making outstanding presentations.

Take-Aways

  • You are constantly presenting, either informally or formally. To be more persuasive, plan your words in advance.
  • Presentations involve leading an audience from where it is to where you want it to be.
  • To make your presentations concise and compelling, use the “Bare Knuckle Method,” which includes the “Preparation Pipeline” and a set of specific delivery techniques.
