Present Yourself! - by Michael J. Gelb

I don't recall where exactly I got this book or why I chose it. My guess is that I saw a good review somewhere. Looking at the mug-shot of the author on the back, I clearly didn't find it on a book shop's shelves [I looked at his Web site and the intervening years have been kind to him!].

I read it this afternoon, as I am preparing a short session on presentation techniques for my work. I wanted to do some background reading to get more ideas. I didn't find many new ideas in this book, but what I did find was a very good encapsulation of the concepts that I see as important. And there are some thought-provoking angles on what presenting is all about. All in all, a very useful concise [100 pages] book on the topic.
