killer-presentations-thumbBy Nicholas Oulton

In this book (now in its second edition), presentations expert Nick Oulton sets out a revolutionary approach that will allow you to use PowerPoint to multiply the power of your presentations. You will radically increase the chances of impressing your audience and achieving your objectives.

Using tried and tested principles, Killer Presentations shows how, through practical, systematic thinking, you can ditch old habits and bring your future presentations to life in a way that truly enhances the clarity of what you present. Instead of boring presentations full of bullet points, your presentations become truly effective ‘killer presentations’, and fire the imagination of those to whom you present.

The book is accessible and practical, it: helps you question unwarranted assumptions about presentations and visual aids that destroy many presentations; sets out a logical way to set objectives and put together a presentation that is audience-focused and likely to persuade; shows in detail how PowerPoint slides can truly illustrate and explain; specifies a clear series of formats and approaches that can create powerful slides; and provides effective tips so presenters can successfully control audience attention.

    Deb, the best bet for you might be to buy directly from Amazon.com. We have copies of the book, but by the time we include shipping, they will be just as quick, and just as easy for you.

Was this useful? Could it be improved? Please share your thoughts and opinions

The finished presentation looks much more impressive. m62 replaced the text with professional looking images that convey our message visually. Our presenters now find it much easier to get our point across clearly, and feel far more confident presenting with the knowledge that they have good slides behind them.
