Book Reviews of The Exceptional Presenter: A Proven Formula to Open Up and Own the Room
Book Review: Simple Ways to Become Exceptional . . . Regardless of Experience
Summary: 5 Stars
Do you communicate clearly and indelibly through every presentation? If you do, you don't need this book. But for the rest of us, The Exceptional Presenter will keep us focused on the right things needed to be exceptional.
If you are like me, you rarely attend an exceptional presentation. Because most presentations are quite bad, I find myself hoping that they will at least be short. But that happy circumstance rarely happens.
I thought that the book displayed a good balance between what a person who is new to presenting needs to know and what will be valuable to those with experience . . . but bad habits.
The book's advice is built around an acronym: OPEN UP
Exceptional presenters should be:
Organized
Passionate
Engaging
Natural
To be an exceptional presenter, you need to:
Understand your audience
Practice
I was also pleased to see that Mr. Koegel is candid in his advice. Here's one of my favorites: "Delivering an exceptional presentation will not guarantee a win every time. But you should never lose because your presentation was less than exceptional."
You have probably heard that nonverbal communication is critical to success. One of the benefits of this book is that Mr. Koegel takes that point seriously and addresses a very high percentage of the nonverbal communication issues that arise when presenting. The book is extremely valuable just for this information.
Unlike many books about presenting, this one also provides a discipline to help you improve with questions and exercises. If you follow that advice for how to follow a process of improvement, you can't avoid getting better.
Perhaps the most valuable insight you'll get from this book is in Mr. Koegel's discussion of how much it costs a typical company to have its people make average presentations rather than exceptional ones. In a sales situation, for instance, the presentation can cost you millions in sales. How can you afford not to become exceptional? You can't!

Bravo, Mr. Koegel!
