Giving Presentations– HBS Pocket Mentor

Recently I read a book from Harvard Publications on how to Give Presentations.  Though many of the points covered in the book are known to us, we seldom use it. The book succeeds in compiling all the points to be taken care of while preparing for the presentations and also on the presentation day. The points given in this book are mostly related to the business presentations made in the industries but is also true with the case of high school and college presentations. The book gives excellent guidelines to gather info on audience, your presentation report and presentation itself.Right from knowing the objectives for the presentation, plan-prepare and the after presentation reviews, Dr. Nick Morgan has given excellent ideas, tutorials, pros and cons to give better presentations.

I suggest you guys get this book, you can purchase it online at Landmark or Flipkart.

A New Beginning

Public Speaking and presentation are two traits which I always wanted to develop in me. Since my tough years during military schooling, I have utilized all the opportunities, I’ve got. The extempore speech competitions, impromptu speeches, organised debates and many more during the school years and paper and poster presentations, seminars: all these have been of great help and fascination to me. I am always different on and off the stage. On the stage, I am always expressive about the central idea but thats not what happens off the stage, and I have always tried to bring about a balance between them.

This blog is for anyone who wants to improve their presentation / public speaking skills and other related skills. We can work together and change ourselves together into a better person.

Become Better Everyday!!! Cheers!!!
