powerful presentations
DESCRIPTION
"Powerful Presentations" outlines six steps to planning and delivering presentations that make an impression and make a difference. This approach begins with the end in mind. Rather than beginning with "What will I say?", Powerful Presentations begin with ""What action do I want my audience to take?" Lyn Boyer www.LynBoyer.net CC-use by attributionTRANSCRIPT
