Geraldine Huse

(Former) President Canada | Procter & Gamble

Improving your presenting capability is, for me, one of the most important career investments we each make.  This book outlines a genuinely fresh approach that I hadn’t seen before.  It’s a book and approach that helps regardless of the stage you are at, whether you are taking first steps or are already highly accomplished.

Mark Given

Chief Marketing, Data and Sustainability Officer | J Sainsbury's PLC

What makes this book different to the myriad other books on presentation skills? It guides you to work out exactly why you're giving your next presentation, what outcome you want for your audience and helps you choose the most appropriate type of presentation. Too many presenters lack this essential focus and don't, therefore, leave the lasting impact that they want to make. After all, isn't that what we all want, as speakers.

Chantal Cornelius

National President 2023-2024 | he Professional Speaking Association (PSA)

This book is a step-by-step guide on how to mesmerize different audiences! When presenting, different situations and audiences require each a specific approach; this book is an amazingly easy-to-apply guide to smash any presentation using the proper words, tone, visuals, body language and tactics.

Francesco Mantovani

Global Learning Technologies and Innovation Leader | Procter & Gamble

Playful and practical. Read this to inject personality into your presentations!

Chantal Tailor

Group Head of HR | TTP

Over 30 years in business, the biggest opportunity I saw was for people to communicate their thinking better. This book can unleash that hidden potential.
