The Presentation Guide Book – A Book You MUST buy!
On my personal blog I normally wouldn’t spend time promoting products but I think this book deserves a special exception for a couple of reasons:
1. I am a featured speaker on the CD that comes with it.
2. The author of the book is not only a master of communication but is an amazing person/mentor of mine.
3. Most Importantly… It is an amazing resource that can be applied to anyone’s life.
First, let’s start off by talking a bit about the author. This amazing resource and guide is written by Dr. Crystal Rae Coel Coleman, an amazingly talented and professional woman who has her doctorate, masters, and is a licensed attorney (pretty impressive resume). This woman is a distinguished communication professor at Murray State University in Kentucky and has personally touched my life with her knowledge and unselfish desire to help people improve their life.
When I attended Murray State University there were only a handful of professors that I can say truly transformed my life and Dr. Coleman was one of them. When I entered her class Dr. Coleman recognized that I had unlocked-potential, she coached and encouraged me using her techniques (read the book to see), and ultimately gave me the confidence I needed that was previously lacking before taking her class. As a business professional and owner of some very large and profitable online marketing websites I MUST give some of the credit to what I learned from this great teacher/mentor/friend.
I would highly suggest that EVERYONE travel across the world and take one of her classes at Murray State (would be worth your time and money), however, I realize that this option is not feasible for many individuals out there. For those of you that this may be the case you are now very lucky because you can still experience and take in the vast-knowledge of such an expert in the field. So what is the book about? Although there are many tips and advice included in the book other than the main topic, the primary focus is to teach using SPECIFIC tricks/techniques/advice how to deliver a STUNNING presentation. You may say, anyone can give a speech OR I’m too nervous to give a speech… I say.. Yep, your right anyone can give a presentation, but very few can give a GREAT PRESENTATION. And if you are avoiding speeches because your nervous about them… Your not going to be a very big asset to your class, organization, or business. In a rough economy it is already tough to get a job, and many employers are only hiring workers with great communication skills and presentation skills… Ps. A job interview is definitely a presentation, you are presenting yourself to the employers… This book will give you the knowledge and skills to master the art of presentations and will show you so many things (many you probably never thought about) that can be applied to giving a perfect speech.
Credibility is everything when it comes to a book and knowing the author, I can tell you she is THE BEST presenter that I have ever witnessed and I have heard many distinguished speakers throughout the years. You will be blown away by the knowledge that you will find in this book (I know I was), and I highly recommend it to EVERYONE!
So who can benefit from this book:
1. People in business – If you are management and work for a business, there is a very good likely hood that you will have to make some sort of presentation while you are there. No one wants to be shaking uncontrollably and present a mediocre speech do they? If your speaking with your boss won’t you want to sound knowledgeable and confident? If your a manager, it is a must you buy a copy of this book for all your employees. If your an employee and your manager hasn’t bought you this book, tell them to do so!
2. Students – High school, and college is filled with presentations… Most are utterly bombed by UN-educated and UN-informed students. Most students are scared to death of making a presentation and if they would just read this book, that could all change very quickly.
3. Clergy – Ok, if your a pastor and your making speeches… You should read this book… I don’t think an explanation is really needed here.
4. Those looking for a job – A job interview is a PRESENTATION…. Those who present themselves the best are hired, those who lack confidence ARE NOT.. It’s that simple.
5. Any and everyone – basically if you exist on this good earth you are at one time or another going to have to PRESENT something.. Even talking to your children is a form of communication and I think most everyone wants to be a good parent and have a great relationship with your children. With that being said, I can honestly say this book (along with the Bible and Who Moved my Cheese) are books that every people should read, study, and apply to their life.
With that being said, I want to end by providing you with a couple of resources that will help you to get one of these books (or multiple of them)…
Would you spend $50 if you knew it would change your life for the good? I would.
