*This book is amazing! You can just dip into it to find a new tip which will give you confidence for your next big moment…. Whether you are speaking at your employee\`s retirement dinner or to a massive conference of seasoned professionals this book has the tips and tricks to help you perform even better than you hoped*

**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 | The 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.

**Peter Yorke**

Former Global Head of New Systems Innovation | Nespresso

## ABOUT THE AUTHORS

The Versatile Presenter is written by us (Richard Pascoe and Kirstie Hawkes).  We have been training and coaching presentations skills for well over 20 years.  We wrote this book because no-one else has - and that seemed ridiculous.  The world needs this idea.

Go to [About Us](https://makingpresentations.co.uk/about) if you want to learn more.

### Learn about the book in under 5 minutes

Richard introduces the book and what it promises the reader in this short talk (just over 4 minutes).  Filmed to a small audience at NEXUS in Leeds University, January 2025.
