Garr Reynolds, Professor, Kansai Gaidai University and author of Presentation Zen 'If you fear your presentations are uninspiring, unstructured and leave audiences underwhelmed, this book is full of practical advice and real-life examples to kickstart your journey to becoming a confident and engaging communicator. Andrea has broken the challenges of presenting into beautifully bite-sized strategies, tools and insights to help you devise and deliver presentations that truly serve your audience and show you at your best.' Rachel Schofield, Career Coach and former BBC presenter 'Having the keys to communicate your ideas effectively will unlock huge opportunities. Problem is, great ideas often fail, not because of the idea itself, but because of how they're communicated. That's a tragedy! Thankfully, Andrea wrote a book to save the day. So do yourself (and your audience) a favour - if you want to become the best presenter you can be, read this book. It's the ultimate roadmap to what makes a memorable presentation. It's the book I wish I had read six years ago when I started my career as a professional keynote speaker.' Mark Leruste, author of Glow in the Dark and host of The Unconventionalists podcast 'I always tell my clients and students that, when presenting, we need to focus on three Es: Educate, Engage and Excite. That's exactly what presentation expert Andrea Pacini does in his terrific new book! He provides a wealth of valuable content, captures and holds our attention from start to finish, and inspires us to want to put these ideas into practice. Filled with timeless tools, tips and techniques, Confident Presenter will help every reader to deliver their messages with greater poise, presence, and power ... so as to become a more competent, compelling and confident public speaker.' Todd Cherches, CEO of BigBlueGumball, adjunct Professor of Leadership at NYU and Columbia University and author of VisuaLeadership 'It's an oddity of modern life that we admire others who are good public speakers, but we don't put in the hard yards to be good ourselves. However, good public speaking is a very attainable gift: all you need is a bit of effort and some intelligent guidance. The effort must come from you, but the guidance can come from this remarkable book. Andrea Pacini understands how presenting works (and how it sometimes doesn't) with real insight. Read it, study it, think about it and then enjoy the self-belief that comes with knowing how to present well.' Roger Mavity, author of Life's a Pitch, writer, business guru 'Andrea Pacini is passionate about making people better presenters. In Confident Presenter, you feel that passion beginning on page one. What makes Pacini's book particularly valuable are the many example presentations upon which he anchors his lessons. Even more important than the successful examples, are the failures. Lessons borne of failure leave deeper impressions. Pacini's lessons are authentic - you can smell the blood.' Michael Alley, author of The Craft of Scientific Presentations
