This was good for what it was, an introduction to several types of presentations. I felt the language was approachable and the tips were really practical and useful. I would flip through this before some future presentations again.

I've given a few talks already, and I've previously struggled to find one specific resource for tips and tricks on public speaking. This book answers so many of the questions that I've had and so many of the questions I didn't even know to ask. There are so many personal anecdotes and examples that really help me to understand how to implement the strategies.

I breezed through it quickly, and am looking forward to rereading it as I put together a talk from scratch using the activities in this book.

Thank you to Poornima Vijayashanker and Karen Catlin for this great resource. I'll be recommending it to everyone I know that is even remotely interested in public speaking.

Disclaimer: I'm currently enrolled in a Confident Communicator course that Poornima and Karen teach, so I'm obviously a fan of their approach :-)

I've done some public speaking in the past, but this is the first resource I've come across that really guided me through the process of planning, pitching and presenting a talk. The conversational tone of the book makes it an enjoyable read, while the chapter recaps make it a resource I know I'll turn back to again and again over time.
