Presentation Skills

Very detailed book which has already been beneficial to me. ONly problem was that advert said "with CD-Rom", but no CD-Rom arrived...I had to go to a website and download them. Once downloaded the templates worked well.

I LOVE every part of this book

I bought this book to 'help' me get some ideas to use in a two day Presentation Skills workshop that I was having. I opened the book and discovered that this book was actually ALL I needed for this workshop. It is excellent. I can find no fault with this book. The activities are completely relevant and they truly reinforce every learning concept. The course was a tremendous success, and at the end of the programme, attendees wanted information on how to go about purchasing this book. This book is by far my best buy of the year.

Make it easy on yourself!

I recently had to put together my first "Train the Trainer" one hour session for a management level group at an engineering firm. This book and the accompanying cd were invaluable. It would be easy to do a two day seminar using all the tools laid out; it's just as easy to pick and choose as I did for a series of shorter seminars. All of the handouts and slides on the cd are easily customizable to add in your company's logo. I got great reviews on my first session thanks to this guide (and an average survey rating of 4.6 on a scale of 1 - 5). I will be doing the same class for a THIRD time next week for another group due to word of mouth from the first session. Highly recommended!

This book makes leading a workshop a snap!

Just wanted to shoot you a thank you note for your work on the ASTD Presentation Skills Training text. I paid full price for it and have really been impressed with your work. The tone is approachable and humorous, the content is grounded in solid theory without the usual preaching or glazing, and the process is well-paced for adult learners. I have been teaching public speaking for 20 years at the college lever and even wrote a public speaking textbook, but when my college asked me to do 2 day boot camps for local businesses, I was at a bit of a loss. When ASTD sent out the news of your work, I ordered right away. I give one workshop Dec. 13-14 and another Dec. 17-18. I'm going to do exactly what you outline for the 2 day gig. If you want, I can let you know my results. Again, thanks for this excellent resource and good luck with the mid-life crisis book. That's going to be fun and therapeutic!
