Looking for the perfect gift for the public speaker in your life?
Looking for something to add to your own personal wishlist?
Here’s a great list of ideas inspired by emails telling me the gifts that public speakers really want.
Stocking stuffers, moderate, deluxe, and priceless gifts — a comprehensive list with dozens of public speaking gift ideas for you or the public speaker in your life.
Last week, we asked readers to recommend their favorite books in public speaking, presentation skills, or related fields.
Thank you! Six Minutes readers answered the call with 16 book recommendations. Some books have been reviewed on Six Minutes. Some are on my wish list. And some were brand new to me.
How about you? Which of these appeal to you? Have a comment to share?
Whenever my friends and family ask me what I want for Christmas or birthday gifts, I always start with my book wishlist.
As I work on this year’s list, you might guess that many public speaking and presentation skills books are included. You are right!
I’m going to post my my personal public speaking gift wishlist and recommendations in an article next week, but I’d like your help too. And, I’m going to reward a Six Minutes reader with a great public speaking book.
If you want to master visual communication, this book is for you.
If you want to impress your audience with eye-popping slides, this book is for you.
If you want to break free from the Death By PowerPoint pandemic, this book is for you.
Nancy Duarte has written slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations. (Learn more about Nancy Duarte in a Six Minutes interview!)
Ever since my copy arrived, I can’t put it down. I’ve carried it to and from work every day so that I can read a few pages on breaks. It’s that good.
I highly recommend slide:ology. It is destined to become a classic reference text for presentation skills.
Stephen Kosslyn has written a wonderful book for all presenters: Clear and to The Point: 8 Psychological Principles for Compelling PowerPoint Presentations.
The subtitle for the book promises to illuminate the psychology of PowerPoint. Does it deliver?
In a way, yes. The 8 principles, dozens of examples, and hundreds of tips reveal much that would improve your PowerPoint skills.
However, this book delivers so much more. The 8 psychological principles can be applied to many aspects of public speaking beyond PowerPoint design.
Learn to speak the language of motivation with Fire Them Up!, the subject of the latest Six Minutes public speaking book review.
Fire Them Up focuses not on short term steps (things to do), but on seven qualities of inspiring business communicators (things to embrace).
The target audience is broad: CEO, salesperson, manager, merchant, entrepreneur, coach, teacher, pastor, and parent.
