These are sites and blogs from fellow colleagues that I highly recommend and books you should absolutely read…
Presentation Zen – Garr Reynolds: this book gives great ideas on what a presentation actually is and especially great insights on how to use slides.
Presenting to Win – Jerry Weissman: this book taught me a lot about the structures in a presentation and speciafically the main idea of a presentation to think of the audience when creating the story. Always think ‘what’s in it for them’…
Made to Stick – Dan & Chip Heath: this is not really a presentation book though lotds of ideas on how to make your ideas stick. And this is what you ultimately want with a presentation, you want them to remember your main ideas!
Stilte, ik Spreek – Sylvie Verleye: this is my own book on presentations that is designed as a practical presentation guide. As research I have interviewed 30 women in top positions in Belgium so this is presentation tips times 31… For now the book is only available in Dutch but next spring there will be translations in French and English.
I am currently reading ‘Brain rules’ by John Medina and ‘Whoever tells the best story winns’ by Annette Simmons.
