This book is a comprehensive guide covering all the essential ingredients for delivering presentations that engage and persuade a professional audience. The author covers everything from planning and structuring content to delivering with confidence. Content is designed for senior leaders and managers in professional organizations who need to present to a wide variety of audiences ranging from team meetings to conference speeches.
