In business today there are few managers who do not give presentations. At its best, a presentation is the most powerful, flexible and economic way of communicating with people.

They use bad visual aids and are accompanied by hesitations and pauses.TEACH YOURSELF PRESENTING FOR PROFESSIONALS will enable anyone who gives presentations to avoid these pitfalls and present in an interesting, persuasive and enjoyable way. It is not a beginner's guide to presentations but assumes a prior exposure to the basic skills of that process.
