Summary
The inside secrets to giving a first-class presentation from the man who put TED talks on the world's stage. Chris Anderson discovered early on that the key to getting an audience to sit up and pay attention is to condense a presentation into 18 minutes or less, and to heighten its impact with a powerful narrative. This is chock full of personal presentation suggestions - everything from how to distill your speech's content to what you should wear on stage. This is lively, fun read with great practical application.
