Book Recommendations
The following books have been incorporated in the development of the Business Presenter’s Workshops. They offer the latest and most current information, concepts, and techniques for developing the needed skills to become an excellent business presenter. There are common threads that run through this body of information that the top presentation coaches and communications’ experts have determined to be essential in learning and practicing to develop the mastery of public speaking and business presentations.
I highly recommend for those of you who really want to excel in the business presentation arena that you read, study, and apply the information provided in the following books. Note: Even though the basic concepts are covered in each book to some extent, no one book can address all the many aspects, techniques and methods that can be applied to becoming and exceptional presenter. Of special note: The authors sometimes use different terms to explain the same ideas, concepts and methods. This can be confusing at first. I would be happy to help clarify at the workshop.I have rated the books in order, that in my opinion, offer the best advice and instructions for developing your public speaking and business presentation skills. Each book has a different approach to providing information on how to make successful presentations and offers great advice on how to connect and motivate an audience. Our workshops implement only those methods, techniques and practices that make it easy and practical for the students to apply in real life presentations. Knowledge is important, however practical application is the key to achievement.
