I present from time to time. I've always enjoyed it. I've been told often that I'm a good public presenter. (I'm also told not to brag too much)
I've read several communication books which in some instances deeply cover the mechanics of this subject. I'm the kind of guy who reads, practices, adopts, and uses self-improvement stuff all the time. Just about everything the author covers in this book isn't new and it isn't revolutionary. But, he doesn't make any claims that it is, either. But, if nothing else, he does a really good job at a couple of things. First, it's written so that people at any level can read this book and probably become better at presenting. It's straight forward and intuitively put together. Second, you get just enough on body-language, linguistics, rapport, tonality (among others) to be able to use these skills with ease. It's apparent that the author knows a lot more on these topics but uses self-restraint so as not to lose the audience.
If you're an accountant and you have to present to a bunch of people in a week and you're freaking out: read this book before you do anything else. If you present from time to time and you've gotten pretty comfortable with it, there are better books for you. It just depends on what you want to hone or improve.Get more detail about The Exceptional Presenter: A Proven Formula to Open Up and Own the Room.
