“Presentations Beyond PowerPoint®: A Step-by-Step Guide for Business and Science” focuses on the art of presentations. Its purpose is to give presenters encouragement to display intelligence, enthusiasm, and order when in a position to influence an audience of one or hundreds. As the preface states, “The underlying rationale for this guide is to motivate those with presentation responsibilities in business, science, government, education and the military to accomplish what the ancient Greeks called dialogue: the exchange and preservation of reason between those who speak and those who will listen.” One early reader of the Guide – a nationally known writer, educator and lecturer – commented, "I think the manuscript is brilliant. It's so well-written; it's lively, practical, and pitch-perfect in its focus." Designed for the professional on the go – on his/her way up – the Guide is important and timely because it gives perspective by emphasizing the human side of presentations to those who may believe a presentation begins and ends with PowerPoint®. One prime audience is young people accustomed to (and mostly delighted with) using the current technology. This work will lead them to understand that oral delivery is how audiences are convinced to take certain actions.In twelve succinct steps, the Guide covers all aspects of developing and delivering presentations, concluding with "The Quick List" to ensure everything has been remembered.
