Format:Paperback
This book is extremely readable and matter-of-fact in its delivery of the three critical aspects of communication:
1) The Speaking Game
2) Organization, Writing and Presentation
3) Delivery
As someone who has been invited to speak at conferences and to deliver senior executive level briefs, I can attest to the usefulness of much of what was written. Further, the graphics and diagrams within the text add another demension to the book, enabling the reader to gain a more right-brain understanding of the author's points
That said, I think that had the book contained some examples of real speeches in their entirety, it would transcend the realm of very good books, into that of truly superb ones.
Overall however, I would certainly recommend this piece for one's professional development library or as a gift to any professional motivated towards excellence.
I would suggest reading this book in conjunction with a guidebook to Powerpoint Presentations if the reader is not well-experienced in creating presentation his/herself.
In any case, I hope you are made a more effective corporate communicator because of these pointers!
I hope you find this review useful -- go for it!

This book is a secret weapon in helping anyone involved in meetings and presentations prepare. This book has become my new pocket guide for quick and thorough presentations.

Use the POWER formula and overcome a formidable obstacle to personal success. This book is jamb packed with practical methods to overcoming a fear of speaking in public, at work and even socially.
Toogood uses numerous examples to assist the reader in modifying not only the way public speaking should be approached but also in the mechanics necessary to reach and hold an audience's attention. Two Thumbs Up!!
