    4/5
    Quick and easy to digest read about how to improve presentations. The book provides a good high-level description of some key areas of focus. Nancy Duarte starts with how to understand and appreciate your audience. She follows that up with expanding on how to develop the message and the story behind the presentation. Afterwards, she discusses the medium of the presentation (not everything requires PowerPoint) and then goes further into the actual slides and methods of delivery. Lastly she touches on the impact and follow-through post-presentation. I found the topics useful and very applicable to my work.

    This compact field guide encapsulates the best practices needed to master the full range of business presentation scenarios. The advice is pragmatic and clearly based on real-world experience. What I most appreciated was guidance on distinguishing between the slides used to document information vs. what should be used in an actual presentation. Duarte covers everything else too, including audience perspective, room logistics, technology and how to involve others. It reads quickly and is a worthy book to keep handy for future reference.
