DVD Reviews of Killer Presentation Skills - Second Edition
DVD Review: Can't recommend enough
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a technical trainer by trade. After some very disparaging and pointed criticism of my presentation style, I videotaped myself to see if these harsh comments had any merit. The criticisms were dead on! I could barely watch myself. My focus seemed scattered, I kept rambling on and on, and the so called "rapport" that I thought I had with the audience was all in my mind. To top if off, I appeared very nervous, which led to the obvious discomfort of the audience. There were a lot of pained expressions in the audience.
I was pretty distraught. Worse than that, I had another important training presentation in less than a week. I did some hasty internet searches to find some kind of comprehensive public speaking training and lucked upon this DVD. The DVD cover purported to show you "everything you need to know" about how to deliver presentations and keep the audience with you "every step of the way."
I got the 90 minute DVD overnighted to me and watched it as soon as I got it. I was prepared for a lot of the typical public speaking conventions - make eye contact with the audience, etc.
I was prepared to be quite bored by the DVD but was willing to sit through it because I was desperate. Also, I am an insanely compulsive note taker and fully expected to jot down all the useful bits of information I could get as I watched the DVD.
I was wrong on both accounts. I was absolutely riveted by the speaker, Doug Jeffreys. I could see at once that the unconventional but totally sensible techniques he showed were immediately useable. More impressive that that, I didn't have to take any notes. The presentation was so effective that I actually learned by just watching and listening to him. As a trainer, I absolutely aspire to this!
I took public speaking classes in college and I've read a few books over the years on public speaking. I have NEVER come across the simple but effective approach he uses. He also explained quite clearly why this approach works.
That sealed the deal for me and I immediately applied my techniques to a training presentation I had days later.
I was taken aback by the reaction I got from my audience. I noticed that many people were looking at me intensely - and their gaze was not letting up! After the presentation was over, a few of them came up to me and actually thanked me for my effective training.
Since then, I have had quite a few more training sessions and each one has been overwhelmingly positive. I get comments like "I thought I was going to be bored to tears but you had me interested the entire time" or "this was the best presentation I've seen". The funny thing is I haven't changed the content of my training. The only change is the presentation skills I acquired from the one-time viewing of the DVD.
I give the DVD 5 stars out of 5 because it does what it purports to do - show you "everything you need to know" about how to deliver presentations. I cannot recommend it enough for anyone who will have to speak in front of an audience.
