Von der hinteren Coverseite

We've all been there: an Excel spreadsheet smeared across a projector screen as someone on stage mumbles into a microphone while you sneakily check your email on your phone just to stay awake. It's presentation hell, and we've all been there before. But it doesn't have to be this way, especially when you're the one delivering the presentation.
 
As founder of presentation design firm Ethos3, Scott Schwertly knows the difference between a great presentation and a great reason for an audience to take a nap. In How to Be a Presentation God,Schwertly begins to right the multitude of wrongs we have endured at the hands of dull speakers and poorly crafted presentations.
 
Schwertly shows you how to design and deliver a fire-breathing, earth-shaking presentation that will have your audience praising the heavens and hanging on your every word. You'll find proven and effective step-by-step secrets for delivering transcendent presentations with an easy-to-implement approach focused on engaging content, personal storytelling, and effective design elements-the holy trinity that leads to godly delivery.
 
As a presenter, your job is to move people, and anything less is merely wasted time. Presentations matter. We use them to convince others to do more, think differently, or invest in our ideas. Yet most of us can't seem to muster the forethought, passion, and execution that our ideas deserve. If you've got a presentation to deliver, it's probably important to you. So treat it that way.
 
How to Be a Presentation God gives you the tools you need to deliver when it matters and fulfill your own passion and vision for what can and should be. When people take time out of their day to sit and listen to you speak, not boring them to death is the least you can do. Packed with examples and lessons from great presenters-from Abraham Lincoln to Steve Jobs-this book shows you how to beat the boredom, flip your script, and start changing the world . . . one presentation at a time.
