Good Idea, Poor Execution

This is two part book. Part 1, how to construct a story. Part 2, creating the slides.Part 1 is adequate. Yes, it's best to present your data or idea in a coherent, building, story. But the text-heavy explanation of story telling is dull. The book looks like it was designed in 1998.Part 2 is a...

Helpful Book

This book does for presentations what flow charts do for good programming. The author begins by depicting the all-too-familiar scene played out daily in most corporate presentations.
