HBR Guide to Persuasive Presentations (HBR Guide Series) MP3 CD – MP3 Audio, August 9, 2016

The tips in this book went beyond cookie-cutter presentation tips and offered useful, immediately applicable suggestions to improve presentation writing and delivery. I purchased the book after listening to the audio version so I'd have a hard copy to access anytime and take notes in. Highly recommend!

So I enjoy the previous work of the author so I expected it to be good, but thought it might be a little stale or textbook, not at all.Read this if you want to improve your presentations. Whether for business, pleasure or whatever this lays out a very nice formula, some good examples and an extremely structured view of how to approach presentations.This doesn't focus on slides and visuals like her previous work (though that was excellent in it's own right). In fact this book can guide you on how to do presentations without slides.Overall it's interesting, engaging, and extremely informative.

It is an excellent book and well-written with great sections on how to do Persuasive Presentations and public speeches.

For those who also read Resonate and Slide:ology, you will find the new HBR Guide to Persuasive Presentations a useful and compelling tool. Having worked with Nancy's team at Duarte Design, earlier this year, I found this ebook to be a useful receipt from that experience, reminding what is valuable when preparing to create and deliver an impactful presentation - especially to busy, distracted, high-powered executives. As in her other works, Nancy is authentic, practicing what she advocates by cleanly organizing her guidance and delivering it with passion.This book adds nicely to her volume set, adding useful tips on building relationships via social media channels and following-up with your audience after you've delivered.I recommend this handy ebook to my colleagues and my clients, as well as to my proteges who are learning - through practice - the art of tech entrepreneurship and strategy at Stanford, NUS (Singapore), KTH (Sweden), etc.

This guide from HBR was concise and well-crafted. Believing this book would take days to read, I was surprised to finish it in an afternoon. I couldn't put it down, which says a lot for a nonfiction.Though the guide contains some "no-s***" recommendations, it has increased the quality of my business presentations, which is exactly what it aims to do. I would recommend it for anyone who speaks in front of a group of people.

This is really the only Duarte you need to buy, if you're looking at her body of work and wondering. No, it doesn't have all the layout stuff that Slideology has, but after reading all her stuff (library and purchased), I feel like this would have been the one to focus on (although it was published AFTER I had read through all her others). I feel it's the most practical, and jettisons some of the fluff you find in her other books. I have highlighted, dog-eared and stickie-taped throughout this whole book.

Useful ideas to consider when designing a presentation. Easy read, worth checking out! I found it to help with everything from sales presentations to more general presentations.

I chose this rating because:1. Ms Duarte is an experienced expert in the mechanics, art, and engagement of presentations; see her YouTube videos to judge for yourself.2. Her how-to information is bite-sized and therefore easily understood. Each concept is from 2-4 pages in length and supports its thesis.3. She covers ALL the topics from the mental how-to-persuade to pre-checking your presentation technology (where's your VGA cord?)Nice job!

Fantastic little book! Read it in two days. Very well written, concise and to the point, yet very entertaining and filled with real life examples and situations.

Bastante completo y bien estructurado, un buen punto de partida Iara poder profundizar tras su lectura.

Spectacular

Great book that was delivered promptly.

Libro molto interessante e con molti consigli pratici. Ovviamente non tutti i consigli sono immediatamente applicabili, dipende molto dalla tipologia di lavoro e presentazioni che ognuno di noi fa nel suo quotidiano. In ogni caso l'ho trovata una lettura molto utile.
