Alexei Kapterev's "Presentation Secrets": Chapter 11, Where to Go Next


The answer to Kapterev's question "Where to Go Next" for you  is to go buy this book, of course. Presentation Secrets is well worth the investment in money and time. After all, you have already read a summary of it, but there's more to learn, to be sure.

But he gives the answer "Where to Go Next" for those who already own the book and want more. He summarizes everything he has covered in the text itself and then provides further resources for slide design, storytelling, delivery, and even general presentation advice.

His list of resources is impressive and well thought out. He describes everything and says why it would be the next step. He doesn't just list everything.

Overall impressions of Kapterev's Presentation Secrets

This book is good. It's scope is impressive, certainly, but it's the depth of his advice that gets me. It's his refusal to give a list of do's and don't's that most grabs me. He goes into the why before he goes into the how. He doesn't just tell you where to stand; he goes into the psychology of where to stand and how to get the audience to go along with you.

Kapterev is an expert, and we can all learn from him. I know I did.
