This book is a game changer. I picked it up hoping to refine our powerpoint presentations (as presumably everyone does) and it certainly nails that - it's super effective as a step-by-step manual for dialing in presentations' clarity/digestibility and increasing their enjoyability. But the book is a whole lot more than that. Even within the first few pages, it had me rethinking communications overall - presentations, marketing, interoffice communications, employee/employer relations - the principles in here are so wide reaching and helpful. It's also a really easy/fast/enjoyable read and the principles are presented in such a memorable manner. Outstanding tool for anyone in business, far beyond specifically powerpoint.

This book is a breath of fresh air in the world of presentations! Zumaeta’s storytelling style makes this book an easy and entertaining read, full of practical advice and personal anecdotes. I’ve also had the benefit of taking her Get To The Point workshop, so many of these concepts are familiar, but the book adds even more details and examples. I loved her take on ‘succinctness’—a whole chapter dedicated to trimming the fat and keeping your message clear and direct. It's amazing how a topic as dry as slide presentations can feel fresh. The sad truth about working in a corporate environment is that powerpoint is unavoidable, so this helps a lot.
