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 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.

This is a short excerpt from the excellent Your Path To Success podcast series by Ruth Kearns Wollmann. Here Richard admits to Ruth that for years he stubbornly refused to write a book, until eventually he could avoid it no longer.
This is from summer 2024, when 80% of the book had been written. 100% of the words have now been penned - we are in the final stages of bringing everything together.
