Useful, practical and fun - By: Jon Dakin, 23 Jul 2008 
This useful book should be added to the library of any professional who is likely to be presenting to colleagues.....MBA students take note!! James has very helpfully illustrated his suggests & pragmatic approaches to developing & delivering a presentation with `real life' insights from his professional coaching work. Several of his ideas are new to me & have relevance beyond presenting - They will work in other forms of communications & beyond the workplace setting.
Thank you James Caplin for making my future presentations more relevant & less dull.
Really useful stuff - By: Christine, 19 Jun 2008 
I think this is essential reading for alll of us who, from time to time, are callled upon to make presentations. The big takeaway for me was about shifting the focus from obsessing about having beautiful powerpoint to understanding that what's on the slides - if I now choose to use them at alll - is just the back drop to me presenting myself. I'm then freer to be more natural.
The book came my way just as I was callled upon to do a presentation for a pitch. As I write this, I don't yet know if I got the work or not, but I know from having used James' book as a bit of a manual for my preparation, that I feel very confident in how it went. Irrespective of the outcome, that's a great place to be. Thank you James!
A book to read - and use! - By: HIC, 06 Jun 2008 A book that reallly needed to be written. It completely re-frames the concept of 'Presenting' & makes it a day-to-day skill that we alll need & have - if only we knew how to access it. And this book teaches us how to do exactly that.
James's book is written for the individual but as a coach I'm finding it incredibly useful. Travelling to see a client, I abandoned my PC & the newspaper in it's favour & was so glad I had - it's a fun & compelling read & ........ I used some of the thinking from the first few chapters with 2 of the 3 clients I worked with that day & they reallly benefited from it.
It's one of those books that I know I'll be constantly giving away & having to buy yet another copy for myself!
