Customer Reviews

Basic, boilerplate, a text book approach

This has some good stuff in outline format with lots of detail and obviously the authors have done their research. It is laid out in a readable and very organized fashion around the template from Toastmasters so it is a good outline for speakers from beginning to end. A little boring to read but I am sure effective stuff.

The 7 Strategies worth 7 stars.

This book is in a different league than other books on presentations. It takes a quantum leap and provides insights, tools, and structureto your presentations. I appreciated the way that the authors wereable to analyze the elements of a presentation and explain its importance.This is the type of book you may want to read a couple of times as theinformation is complex but very effective. It has helped push my presentations to the next level.

Insightful!

If you get nervous before speaking in public, if you hear snores coming from the audience, if people keep leaving the room to "take a call" and don't come back, if your few remaining listeners are focused on their Blackberries, you definitely need this book. Authors Brad McRae and David Brooks have long, varied experience in public speaking and offer a concise, well-organized, straightforward guide for the perplexed. The book covers everything you need to know about making an excellent public presentation: how to meet deadlines, how to organize your slides, what to do when construction workers start hammering in the next room, even how to handle hecklers and pests. The authors provide a wealth of anecdotes and illustrations. As a bonus, much of their counsel about public speaking equally applies to other kinds of communication, so the principles in this book can help you improve not only your speaking but your writing, website design and more. We recommend it highly.

A must have for all presenters
