🔖 What people say about "Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs"?

"As a pastor, and a bit of a tech-junkie, this book was right in my wheel-house. I learned a great deal about speaking, was surprisingly inspired by Steve Jobs (didn't know much about him before reading this), and was thoroughly entertained.

I recently preached a sermon that I wound up revising because of this book. The opening did not answer the "why should I care?" question from the congregation, and so I changed my approach.

This is a well written, carefully researched book that draws from many arenas of expertise to help anyone who does public speaking as part of their job to improve. I want to be "insanely great" every Sunday and I believe this book has given me some of the tips and tools to get there."
