A very easy read. That said, the whole concept of Social Proof and so on is often hard to bring into presentations, isn't it. I suggest that, essentially, because a large percentage of our clients are giving "cutting edge" presentations - by which I mean they're presenting on something so new that, almost by definition, there's precious little other work out there that they can make reference to. If there was, they'd not need to make the presentation. :) Okay, there are ways around it, I know but it's something to think about. Cheers.... Simon It’s a handy book alright! A very easy read.
