Editorial Reviews

Angela Peery has written a great book for people who want to communicate compelling ideas and mobilize audiences to action. Her fresh ideas for turning presentations into opportunities for clients to focus on their most important goals put the speaker’s energy where it belongs. If you have ever squirmed over your own wordy PowerPoint presentations, this book will become your go-to source for every presentation you make.

Elle Allison

As a supervisor of school improvement in a large urban district with no time to waste, I found Angela Peery's book, Creating Effective Presentations, filled with relevant and timely ideas about how to deal with the challenges of professional development and the ongoing task of improving teacher performance. It gives the staff developer the tools and considerations needed to get the message across with the highest impact.
