DVD Reviews of Killer Presentation Skills - Second Edition
DVD Review: not as advertised
Summary: 2 Stars
i am disappointed with my dvd copy of 90 minutes to killer presentation skills. i realize that many people are very satisfied with this product.....maybe they received a different version than the one i got.Firstly large parts of the 7 minutes trailer of the program are completely missing in my version .How do i know this ?i noticed that the trailer had green slides in the presentations whereas mine had blue ones and lets not forget the missing scenes.
Is the trailer advertising for the 1st edition or is it the portion of the program that was edited out in my version?Is there a difference between the american version of this program and the international version?If there is, they should have mentioned it or in the ideal situation let us choose which version we the customer prefer.If the trailer is advertising for the first edition they should replace it with a new trailer for the 2nd edition , so that it actually represents what is on the second edition of the dvd!Also my version only runs for about 76 minutes , whereas on amazon it says the dvd has an 84 minute running time. Is this the additional footage that was edited out?
The main thrust of this program is delivery. So know what youre buying when you get this. It is not the A-Z of speech making , its more like the A-Y of speech DELIVERY.In that way it is unbalanced ,it does not cover speech preparation/writing or content gathering in any depth.However it is excellent at what it it does teach (Speech Delivery).
What irritates me most about this dvd , is the fact that what is advertised does not correspond to the actual program. Its like watching the trailer for a blockbuster film , which advertises arguably the best parts of the film.Then going to the actual film and finding that all those best parts from the trailer have been edited out!The film may not be bad but what gets to you is that you did not get what you wanted or expected!You did not get what had lured you to watch the film in the first place !Thats exactly how i feel about this dvd!
DVD Review: Great video!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've attended a couple classes/seminars in the past about how to give a presentation, but this was much better. It covered ideas that I had not seen before, and it was also a great refresher of the ideas that I had seen. The presentation was very well organized, dynamic, and entertaining as well as educational. It also went more in-depth than other presentations I have seen on topics such as making eye contact with one person at a time vs "spraying" the audience with the eyes. The presentation was filmed at three live seminars, so it was like gettimg the best of all three, plus a few comments on the side as well.DVD Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
This DVD was so disappointing. I purchased it based on the recommendation of the reviewers. First, it flips through three different locations, which is annoying. Secondly, it covers just the basics of presenting. Rapport requires far more advanced skills that are suggested by a reviewer. There is no significant content substance from an advanced speaker's prespective. While the presenter is very good in both style and delivery, you can glean this information off any public speaking website. His language skills, humor and pace are excellent, but when you boil down the common knowledge content, you feel a bit ripped off for paying the hefty price of $99.00. Id' give the content a 1 star. His style is deserving of more, but the price really should have been around $59.00 in my opinion. So I'm giving the product only 2 stars. Also, his marketing staff should make it clear this is beginner stuff.DVD Review: How many times can you hear the same thing
Summary: 5 Stars
Obviously not enough since we keep making the same basic mistakes over and over. Plenty of good advice. Basically keep it simple, tell a story and weave in some examples.DVD Review: Valuable and entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this video for anyone who finds themselves in front of an audience, particularly for the business person looking to improve their influence on their colleagues. The real value of this video is that it provides clear, precise actions that any speaker can easily learn and integrate into his or her own presentations.
Although I was not expecting this video to keep my interest for the whole 90 minutes (I really struggle to make it through the training films at work), I found it kept my attention from beginning to end. Mr. Jefferys breaks down the art of speaking well into digestible pieces that are presented in an entertaining enough way as to keep your attention the whole way through.
I found it very valuable to my own business skills - in fact, I got compliments on the very first presentation I gave after watching the DVD, something I had NEVER gotten before. I have no doubt that every business person could improve their own presentation style by incorporating these techniques.
Valuable and entertaining - a great combination.
Description of Killer Presentation Skills - Second Edition
A pre-requisite for any serious careerForget everything you've heard about eye-contact, body language, and voice - it's likely either old-school, or just plain wrong. Now, in these very entertaining, knowledge-packed 90 minutes, you will see and hear for yourself what has been imprisoning the excellent presenter inside you. You will learn how to finally break free of the common chains that have ensnarled speakers and presenters for generations.
In this captivating video, filmed before a live audience of 200 and enhanced with studio-overlaid visuals of the relevant slides, you will be privy to the most important presentation delivery skills that PublicSpeakingSkills.com has heretofore only shared with their private corporate clients. It's all here: How to make contact with every individual in the audience; how to use gestures for maximum impact; even a new approach to organizing your content so that audiences can retain what you say. Learn how presenters from Fortune 100 companies significantly increase and improve their clarity, impact, and - not incidentally - their closing ratios.
The content here is much more than mere talk. Seeing is believing - you will see how its done today and present with it tomorrow. You will gain whole new insights into the arts of gesturing, inflection and eye-contact that you simply can't get from any book alone. Best of all, Mr. Jefferys clearly demonstrates how mastering just one technique will give you the winning edge in the three most important aspects of successful presentations.
By practicing what you'll see in this video, you will establish immediate rapport with your audience while at the same time eliminating the major cause of fear and nervousness most people experience in public speaking. As a bonus, this essential skill will work to create a bond with your audience - that feeling of trust - that's simply not possible with the way you present today.
You will capture from this video literally "everything you need to know" to change forever the way you present, and find that the next time you speak, people will actually listen!
