"I'd like to draw your attention to the newest tome by Brian Tracy, entitled Speak to Win: How to Present with Power in Any Situation (AMACOM Books)....In addition to penning the "Management Strategies" column that appears in every issue of S&MM, Brian's one of the top 10 brand names in the motivational speaking business (sharing company with a couple of fellas named Covey, Robbins and Chopra). So needless to say, when the guy pens a text on giving killer presentations, you ignore it at your own peril....Whether Brian's dispensing advice on mnemonic strategies, speech cadence, body language or even the proper climate control for your meeting room, you'll find plenty of practical information here."
