Nairobi,
Kenya (February 04, 2016) -- Professionals who want to inject
some life in their lacklustre presentations, now have a new resource
to help them following the launch of the new book, The
Presentation Doctor.
Written
by Jason
Kabera, The Presentation Doctor is a dynamic
resource that teaches people how to advance their career by making
brilliant presentations. According to the author, there are 7 common
mistakes that presenters make. But he takes a unique approach to
addressing these problems by attributing psuedo-medical terms to
them.
A
brief description of the symptoms provided for problems such as
Slides Dependency Syndrome (SDS), Presentation Connectile Dysfunction
(PCD) and Bloated Data Disease (BDD). The causes of these 'ailments'
are also discussed and prescriptions are provided to effectively
treat them.
When
asked about the inspiration behind the book, Jason, said: "I
make hundreds of presentation every year, and sit through many more.
I have seen presenter after presenter fall into these traps. I
started teaching a course on "Presentation Skills" to help
with this problem."
"I
searched for a resource that would help. There are many great books
out there on presentation skills. But they tend to have a narrow
focus. Some focus solely on the mechanics of presentations (how to
use presentation software, public speaking etc). Others focus on the
science of communication, such as how to be persuasive, psychology
and so on."
The
Presentation Doctor is a short and engaging read that attempts to
build a bridge by combining the soft skills of communication
-persuasion, and the hard skills -design, software and delivery.
One
reader said: "Very well put together book about presenting
professionally. I loved the tips on PowerPoint especially since that
is what I use the most. A lot of the advice goes against what I had
learned like using bullet points for example. I was taught to use
them, and this book teaches to avoid them -using spacing instead. It
looks so much better without bullet points. Solid advice- most of
which I have put into place on my next talk. Very excited. My
presentation as a whole has gone way up after the advice in this
book. Highly recommended."
The
Presentation Doctor is available in Kindle format
at a retail price of $2.99. For further details, click here.
