Even though I have to give a lot of reports, I was asked to speak to a somewhat larger audience that I was used to, and I bought this book because I've really liked other books I've had by Rhonda Abrams. It helped me focus and decide on my "core message" and I really liked the concept of a "building" for organizing my key points. I found this book to be very helpful, easy to use, I liked the graphics. Because I'm already strong in PowerPoint, I didn't really need the sections on how to use PowerPoint -- although they looked like they would really be helpful to someone who was new or who wanted to add a little extra zip to their PPT slides. I also liked that the book helped me figure out what to leave out of my presentation too. And, believe it or not, it helped me improve my presentation in much less than a day -- the time the title promised.
