What can you expect from such a dramatic title?

Well, the author justifiably takes the attention away from the presentation and puts it onto the broad shoulders of the presenter, giving them the power and the skills to give an inspirational or motivational speech to any audience with or without powerpoint.

The author has a very chatty but practical style putting emphasis on often over-looked areas such as knowing and understanding your audience, learning and using your own personal styles, and connecting with your audience.

What was different about this book was that not only did I learn and get new ideas about speaking but I enjoyed reading it and how many educational books can you say that about?

Be with the Leaders 11 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover
I was lucky to come across Christopher Witts book on presentation skills for leaders. For me it has proven to contain lots of ideas, tips and sound advice. Even though I rarely have to speak to large audiences,on a regular basis I work as a trainer. There's sound advice for us traines here too. "Be clear about your message, make it interesting, dare to do the unexpected" - none of this is new but what I found really helpful was the way the information and tips are presented. Once I had started to read, I just became engrossed. Maybe its the wealth of stories and anecdotes which Mr. Witts uses that kept my attention. I love the section on Powerpoint it confirms what was my tentative opinion. Powerpoint can be useful for presenting information, to explain, clarify or substantiate a point. However, it cannot replace the personal approach, the warmth and enthuasism of the speaker. Actually, this is the strength of this book...the writer comes across as someone who is totally enthuastic about his work.....and he knows what he is talking about. If you want to enliven your presentations, this is the book for you.

Witt's counsel to leaders (and to anyone who aspires to move an audience) is sound and helpful. Witt presents his suggestions clearly, compellingly and with lively examples. While nearly all of the references are to American business people or politicians, Witt's advice applies wherever you may be. A little heavy on the praise for Ronald Reagan for my taste, but that doesn't diminish the value of his counsel. This is one of the few very useful books about presenting authentically.
