Secrets of Power Presentations

ASIN: 0773761845

Book Description

In this age of sophisticated communications technology how can interpersonal communications be suffering? Simply, few people take the time (or even feel they have the need) to learn the skills of effective one-on-one communications. This book emphasizes a systematic approach to interpersonal contact because its authors know from their other work - presenting, leading, marketing - that systematizing the approach to any activity will help individuals excel at it. Secrets of Face-to-Face Communication will appeal to those who truly want to improve the skills that lead to better understanding.

Worthwhile Read.......2005-01-02

When I first cracked open this book, I must say that I was quite skeptical. I was hoping for the best, but I wasn't sure that it was going to be very good. I sure hoped this book on communication would not be a waste of time.

As I proceeded, my fears eased. The book is well written and flows with a light and anecdotal style. It isn't heavy, but the advice it gives is weighty. It does have some what of a bias towards face to face communication in regard to business, but the authors have kept it general enough to appeal to someone who isn't primarily seeking out the business-oriented of better communication. By keeping each section short and snappy, the authors have enabled the reader to avoid becoming intellectually bored.

My only complaint is that some areas of the book, while remaining brief, the authors may have erred in giving a little too much information in the form of bulleted lists and what not, so as to make digestion and retention of some of the information unlikely.

With the one caveat in mind, I can highly recommend this book to anyone who interacts with people on a day-to-day basis and feels they could learn a thing or two about communicating more effectively. You will certainly learn more than a few things by reading this book.

Customer Reviews:

Valuable resource.......2007-10-21

I found the way the authors dissect various events, detailing the ideal sponsors for (say) the Orange Bowl, sailing regattas, music festivals and so forth to be interesting and extremely valuable. Getting sponsors to part with precious funding is an art, so one must have a clear idea what motivates them. This book helps a ton.

Enlightening.......2002-11-11

There's so much to learn about event sponsorship. It was interesting to see the various views of the industry, including how to expand the value of the sponsor, as well as the image of the actual event.

Book Description

This volume presents the work of social scientists, public policy analysts, policy makers, and arts-funding decision makers. The contributors seek to address serious issues confronting the future of the arts in America by defining the role of social science research in the formulation of public policies. The chapters reflect the diverse disciplinary perspectives and methodologies which make up the broad enterprise of arts research and cover a wide array of current issues in arts research and public policy, including: the current state of arts and arts education research; arts participation by ethnic cultures, baby-boomers, and older adults; emerging patterns of aesthetic choice; public arts policy in the future, and conditions for the growth and effective use of arts research. Academics and students in political science, policy analysis, sociology, economics, arts administration, and education, policy makers, and arts administrators will find The Future of the Arts a valuable resource. The contributors conclude that the future of the arts in America will be shaped by a wide array of forces. The challenge is in avoiding passive reactiveness to these trends, assessing their short-term and long-term influences, and strategically developing policy options that are within the decision-making control of leadership sectors in the complex arts policy world. Until recently, the political context of public arts policy has hindered the development and utilization of arts research. In many ways, this book illustrates the promise of research-based policy formulation for the arts in America.

The definitive book on the National Endowment for the Arts.......1998-06-13

It is a shame the publisher reportedly pulped the unsold copies of this seminal book instead of permitting the author -- and others -- to purchase them. This book gives the best account of the background to the NEA controversy and explains why the National Endowment for the Arts has been a bureaucratic mess since it was first set up in the Johnson administration. If anyone wants to know why there is still controversy about the subject, this book is the place to begin.

An indispensible and brilliant book about the NEA........1997-06-14

Finally, an objective and impartial history of the troubled National Endowment for the Arts. Fascinating to read, engrossing in its details, brilliant in its analysis, ART LESSONS is a "must read" for anyone who wants to understand why the NEA has gotten in the trouble it finds itself. A perfect 10

Customer Reviews:

TJ Walker Made His Point.......2006-10-16

This spiral-bound book could be very helpful for someone preparing for a presentation. Some of the key points that Walker makes: preparation is everything, PowerPoint slides are secondary to the presenter's message, slides shouldn't be included if they aren't absolutely necessary, and slides should be simple.

I titled my review as I did because Walker writes, "It only takes one misspelled word in a huge PowerPoint screen to destroy your credibility. Proof every slide many times,"(22) and he tells us to "Proof read, proof read, proof read" (23). Well, this text is full of misspellings and typos. I can tell you that those things do, indeed, diminish credibility.

There is good information in this book, but a simple search on the internet would give you these basics. Walker tells us on page 5 that if we don't spend enough time with our content that "[our] audience will correctly assume that [we] believe one hour of [our] own time is more valuable than the collective hundreds of hours of their time that [we] are now wasting." I believe Walker didn't take the time to proofread his own book, so I guess you have to ask yourself if his advice (which he must not take too seriously) is worth the cost of the book.

Book Description

A winning broker, securities analyst, and portfolio manager, he created the Dow 10 stock picking strategy featured in The Wall Street Journal and the subject of three books. Now stock market maestro John Slatter shares his frank financial insights and proven stock selection methods with today's novice investors looking to outperform the pros. Refreshingly free of jargon, the book covers all the stock investing essentials, from the risks and rewards of today's equity markets to the advantages and shortcomings of mutual funds. It shows readers how to mine precious investment information from such sources as The Wall Street Journal, Value Line Survey, Barron's, and Standard & Poor's Stock Guide, then use it to build, manage, and monitor a portfolio of stocks based on their personal investment goals. An added plus is the author's simple stock selection method anyone can use in thirty minutes or less to beat the market.

Customer Reviews:

One of the Best.......2004-04-08

After reading a library copy of this, I understood the basics of the stock market much better than I had from other books. All the investment approaches he offers could be considered conservative. If you want a good book on conservative approaches to investing, then this is it.

Needs an updating.......2001-10-27

I borrowed this from my local library, and although it does seem helpful, I'm going to have to purchase a newer volume that was written after the dawn of the internet age.

While the author spends most of the introduction explaining what a technical marvel WordPerfect is, there is no mention of doing invesment research using the internet. Although I'm sure there is lots of other information here, this shortcoming has proven fatal to me.

At least I didn't *buy* it!

Poor writing, poor editing, light on info.......1999-03-18

I am sorry to report that this book is both poorly written and poorly edited. If you're interested in investing in Dow Dogs, which is what the author touts, you'll be much happier with books like Beating the Dow (Micheal O'Higgins) or the investment books from The Motley Fool.

The simplest way to beat the market........1999-01-21

The ideas I have developed over the last 33 years are all packed between the covers of this book--at least the ones that were worth preserving. Nothing important has been left out. No secrets are being denied to my readers. What's more, my innovative methods of stock selection are entirely my own and have not been purloined from another portfolio strategist. As a consequence, this book should be worthwhile reading for veteran investors. On the other hand, I am assuming many of my readers are new to the world of Wall Street and may not be familiar with the jargon of the investment world. To bridge this gap, I have devoted a chapter to terms and concepts that you will need if you are to become an effective investor.

Customer Reviews:

Insulting title.......2007-07-25

I always find it "interesting" that certain topics feel the need to have "special instruction" for women.... i.e., "investing for women", "car repair for women", and now "buying a home for women". I guess women are more ignorant when it comes to these topics? They need to be spoken to differently? Buying a home is buying a home, and the issues are no different for men and women. SURE, maybe women are treated differently by brokers, mortgage lenders, etc., but then, if you have been a woman your whole life(!), you have probably already figured out how to handle yourself in the world. I feel books such as this one are just pandering and feeding into the whole idea that women are somehow more "fragile" and need to be spoken to like little children, and in simple, short phrases, so that their "delicate minds" don't overload. I find such a mentality insulting and ignorant, and just a cheap ploy by the authors to get certain susceptible women to buy their product.

Too many inaccuracies!!.......2007-07-22

As a Realtor looking at the information Summers provides, it seems that no one proof read what she wrote. There are typos throughout. And if the rest of it is as accurate as her section on using Realtors, wow! She says on p 113 that if the Jones have a house worth $100,000, they must sell it for $120,000 to pay the 6% commission. $20,000 is not 6% of $120,000! The commission is not $12,000 as she says. That's 10%. Furthermore, the house is worth what it's worth whether a real estate agent is involved or not. No money is added to the price to pay a commission. Yes, you can negotiate a commission, but it's not the buyer's concern since the buyer doesn't pay it. And if the home is for sale by owner, you can bet that the homeowner wants that phantom "commission" money for him or herself, and will not share it with the buyer.
I was thinking about using this book to educate my buyers who are mostly women first-time homebuyers. But the information is so wrong, it would be impossible to correct it. It's obvious that Ms Summers is a writer who gathered a lot of info and put it together, but has little day-to-day experience with the subject. If she thinks the commission is $12,000 and my share is $6000, I would very much like to sell her a house! (It's more like $2000 that goes to the agent.)

Undecided.......2007-05-17

I received this book recently and at first site I was disappointed. It looks poorly put together - the front cover looks like it is a photocopy of another and the pages seem to be of low quality.

However, the topics covered in the book seem to be good and I'm looking forward to diving into the book soon.

OK book.......2007-05-15

Some of the information is basic and repetitive from what others are saying but I found it slightly helpful for me. I am looking to purchase my 1st home solo soon....

Informational, but title does not suit content..........2006-08-27

Buying Solo was the first book I read on home-buying. There were helpful tables given to calculate morgtage payments and affordability factors, but nothing that you couldn't find online or in other books. I'm not sure how many books regarding this topic the other reviewers read, but I was surprised to see so many gave this book five stars.

I read this book from cover to cover and only recall one page that suggested this was a book for women to buy solo. I can sum it up for you in one sentence: Be confident, don't let the realtors break your spirit just because they have more faith in couples with twice the income.

Otherwise it's all the same material as all other home-buying books.

Product Description

Too often, women ignore the state of their financial affairs and/or depend on others in their lives to keep them in order. It is only too late that they (or their dependents) realize the significance of having their affairs in order not only in case of untimely death, but with increasing life spans and advances in medical care, in case of incapacity from illness or dementia. Annino, with 20 plus years of experience in estate planning, offers a book that explains, step by step and across many different living situations, why being prepared is necessary and how to determine your specific wants and needs in order to plan appropriately.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent estate planning guide for women.......2005-05-05

Annino's book provides the basic legal knowledge women need to deal with problems such as caring for elderly parents or young children, preparing for death or disability of self or spouse, whether to buy insurance, etc. However, there is no dry legalese: the advice is straightforward and abundantly illustrated with interesting stories from her law practice. In chapters aimed at women in various stages (divorcing, single, married, etc.) Annino seems to be having a personal conversation directly with the reader, offering lots of practical advice. Even has a fashionably pretty cover! Ladies: start your studies with this book.

Great Mother's Day Gift!.......2005-04-22

As an attorney practicing in the field of estate planning, I read Patricia Annino's book hoping to find it a good resource for my women clients. Not only will I be reommending Women & Money to my clients, but am giving a copy to my mother for Mother's Day this year! The book presents a lot of complicated estate planning, financial, and tax matters in easy to understand terms with clear and realistic examples that women can easily relate to whether they are single, married, divorced, or widowed. In addition to explaining the legal aspects of planning, Patricia gives great tips, hints, and practical advice throughout the book. I definitely recommend it.

Understanding Estate Planning.......2005-03-26

This is an excellent read for the lay person trying to either understand what the steps are to plan her disposition wishes or confrm that she has put everything in the proper order. The author writes in clear easy to understand language and neatly summarizes the key points of each chapter at the end of each chapter. Women need to take more care of their financial life and reading this book can be the first step.

A Superb Financial and Estate Planning Resource for Women.......2005-03-15

As an author and a practicing attorney in the field of estate planning, I am always on the lookout for materials, particularly readable books, that clearly, simply, and accurately explain some of the unfortunately complicated issues that clients must understand in developing and planning their estates. This concern is a bit compounded when one is dealing with women clients, since in many instances their circumstances are often unique. Thus, I was positively thrilled with the publication of Attorney Annino's book, "Women & Money." In a clear and accurate way, Patricia covers virtually every issue that women face in planning their estates. I cannot recommend the book more highly, and in fact I am planning to purchase a supply of copies to give to my own clients.

FINANCIAL PEACE.......2005-01-18

Here, at long last, is a book that provides women a roadmap of the financial world. No matter how hectic your life might be, this book is worth the time to read. Patricia Annino's depth of expertise is demonstrated through storytelling. She makes it easy to face financial questions that are so often emotionally intimidating. Whether you are single, married, divorced or widowed, whether you are living alone or responsible for others, this book is a gem precisely because it raises the right questions and provides a menu of answers. This book stands to become a classic. Mothers will sent copies to their daughters with notes in the margin. Young single women will read the book in their 20's and go back to it again and again as their life unfolds.
