A treasure trove of information on how to acquire the skills of a world class presenter. It is a workbook for effective communication on the platform, with easy-to-learn NLP techniques and exercises for powerful presentation skills. This book is for trainers, sales people, motivational speakers, political leaders, business managers, and anyone who earns a living by giving presentations.

Judith E. Pearson PhD, Anchor Point

If you are thinking of becoming a trainer or you want to improve your presentation skills this is an excellent book to read. Not only does it deal with the fundamentals of NLP but also techniques for managing your internal state. If only more trainers read a book like this we wouldn't die of boredom watching some of them! There are a number of great techniques for communicating with mis-matchers, building rapport with a group and matching voice tonality and posture. The chapter on aenergy' is very good, showing you not only how to keep up your energy levels but also how to connect with the energy of the group. The book also looks at using aspace' and setting up deliberate anchors so that you interact easily with the audience. Non-verbal communication is a vital part of any presentation and the authors discuss the Satir categories: leveller, placator, blamer, computer and distractor. Short of going on a full training course (which will set you back a couple of thousand) this is a great read if you want to brush up your presentation skills. And even if you have been on a trainer's course the book is great far a quick revision of everything you should be doing to present magically!

Danielle Baillieu, NLP News Magazine of the INLPTA

The authors provide incredibly powerful techniques for anyone who presents to any size of audience. By working through the book systematically and practicing, it has enhanced the training I provide in a way that I could have only imagined. There is a lot to take in but the easy style aids this and makes the process a pleasure.

Stuart Harragan, Harragan Hypnotherapy

The writers of this book manage to grip you as a reader and it makes you feel like they are with you, they offer some fantastic hints and tips although many have an American slant but can be used in the UK to very good effect. This book is also on my list of recommended books.

Brian Manship, Proprietor Waltham Training & Waltec Coaching

This is a superb book, which is packed full of useful tools and techniques to improve your presentation skills and deliver with confidence. Well worth a read!!

Andy Garland, YOUabethebestyoucan

What a great book! If you already give presentations, talks and trainings then this is definitely a book for you. If you want to begin to give presentations, talks and trainings then this is a book for you. Basically, read it, it's brilliant. It breaks presenting and training down into its component parts and gives powerful, yet simple techniques and exercises that will improve your skills and develop some new ones. After reading this book you will be able to handle anything that may happen in a training or presentation will confidence and aplomb. I have used the suggestions and techniques myself and I know that they work a you will too if you give this book a try. The only drawback is that some of the exercises need group participation. Get the book and give it a go.
