Summary: Relevant and practical advise
Review: As Tony Jeary points out in this point we can make a profound impact on others, or not, based on the way we present ourselves to them. The book is enlightening in that it really does increase your awareness of dozens of opportunities we face each day to present our ideas, opinions, and thoughts.The book is based on his research and provides very practical (not just theoritical) ways to better communicate a message and make sure this message reaches people with the desired effect. Of particular value has been the ideas and techniques he writes about for dealing with the anxiety many feel prior to making a presentation.

Summary: Life Is A Series of Presentations
Review: Hopeless. The worst audio book I have in my collection. Nothing like I was expecting. If you want an book titled Tips For People Who Make Presentations at Seminars or Conferences, this maybe the book for you.

Summary: If you only read one book this year, read this one
Review: I heard Tony Jeary speak in person in Eatontown NJ on 3/25/04 and bought his book at the seminar. The insights into making presentations to groups of any size that he provides in this book are incredible and very relevant to anyone who wishes to communicate more effectively. Through the school of hard knocks, he has truly mastered the art and science of making quality presentations. This book reveals his common sense secrets. If you are serious about planning meetings and presentations that get real results (not snores or rolling eyeballs), this is the book for you. I am planning a new presentation using his 3D outline and find it extremely helpful and useful. His writing style is both engaging and informative. An absolute must read.

Summary: A helpful, practical book--highly recommended
Review: I really enjoyed Life Is a Series of Presentations, and I don't usually read books like these since I don't do much public speaking. But Jeary's book is not just for speakers--it's for everybody. It was amazing for me to realize how many "presentations" I make in a day, and how much smoother my life can be if I am aware of these opportunities and harness them effectively. This is one of those books that will change your life.

Summary: Good information but ...
Review: The author uses the book to sell us that everything we do is a presentation. He is right of course, but I like his more simple, to the point 136 Effective Presenation Tips and Inspire Any Audience. A lot of the same information in a more useable format.

Summary: Packed with Knowledge!
Review: The book jacket bills author Tony Jeary as "coach to America's top CEOs." It doesn't identify them, but the author clearly has a certain bold presentational style, and stressing his identity as a expert coach could be both a strategic and an educational tactic. The book's content is evergreen, a mixture of hortatory slogans and amusing anecdotes, all designed to make you a better presenter - whether your audience is one listener or an auditorium full of people. The author's advice is, for the most part, solid, detailed, practical and conservative. Don't be too put off by a few dated examples (Bill Clinton and Gary Condit) and if you're pressed for time just read the handy lists of "very important points" that close each chapter. We assure you that you can't waste time reading this book. It's that useful.
