Senior executives, professionals, politicians, entrepreneurs, and educators are increasingly being evaluated by how well they speak - how credibly, how naturally, and how enthusiastically. They’re being judged on their presentation skills. In today’s communication-saturated age, the ability to address others effectively has become the essential mark of a leader.

It’s a personal handbook for planning and conveying presentations that will engage and inspire others, from overcoming nervousness to handling difficult questions from listeners.
