‘This book exudes Jacqui’s trademark optimism, warmth and directness. She has unique credibility to write such a book because she has experience in the tough world of television news, she is a coach and an accomplished teacher. The book is full of sensible immensely practical advice on how to make presentations with impact. I am an experienced presenter myself but I learnt a lot from it, for instance the importance of how you actually walk on to that stage and how to use pauses. Whether you have to make short, powerful contributions in meetings or address 500 people in a conference centre, I strongly recommend this book for its distilled common sense and expert advice.’ - Jenny Rogers, Executive coach and author
‘This book should be required reading for anyone who needs to communicate via speeches!
Jacqui has produced a very useful and eminently practical book, covering the key areas of words, body and mind, along with a section of solutions and top tips. The lovely thing about Jacqui’s writing is that, while she’s a consummate professional and a visiting professor at INSEAD, her writing isn’t dull and academic. It’s easy to read and full of memorable stories from Jacqui and her clients’ experience. In fact, I had to stop myself laughing out loud a few times as I read it, as I would have disturbed the other passengers on my flight! I would recommend this book to anyone who is serious about communications. I will be applying several of the tips to my own keynote speeches, safe in the knowledge that they are tried and tested, and that they will work for me as they have for so many others. Well done Jacqui!’ - Dr Penny Pullan, Keynote speaker and Director, Making Projects Work Ltd.
