Powerful presentation skills are essential in every part of business, including: IT, customer relations, HR, legal, operations, finance, and administration, because at some point everyone, yes everyone, will need to present an idea, or will be asked for their input. Your ability to present your thoughts and ideas in a persuasive way will bring success sooner. This book gives you essential tips to achieve that.

The author has analyzed hundreds of TED Talk presentations and broken the elements down into key areas of focus, so that you, as a presenter, can incorporate the tools into your presentations and make them amazing.
