Summary: The Doctor Delivers
Review: As a former executive MBA student of Dr. Sherron Bienvenu, I know she brings an impressive background of knowledge and experience to the task of training great presenters. In her Trainer's Guide: The Presentation Skills Workshop, Dr. Bienvenu has delivered a comprehensive, yet very usable resource for the busy executive or manager. She asks the right questions and gets to the real issues without wasting time on academic rhetoric. Her real world training methods are focused and effective.

As Dr. Bienvenu states in her introduction, a great presenter must have both an appropriate skill level and personal confidence. The Presentation Skills Workshop can assist you in acquiring both. Dr. Bienvenu's book will truly help professionals develop and deliver great presentations. A "must own."

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
Review: As a former student of Dr. Bienvenu's, I know that everything in this book is right on target for success in the real world. I took everything she taught me in school and use it in my career, and my presentations looked top-notch professional from the very first day. Now I'm using this book as a training guide--and as gifts for my colleagues.
Dr. Bienvenu is direct and to the point, yet she leaves nothing out. As I read this book, I feel like she is still with me as my professional coach.

Summary: Now I'm Prepared!
Review: I was looking for a book that would be my "best friend" when I had to prepare presentations. After reading this book and doing everything Dr. Bienvenu said to do, I did SO WELL that I was asked to teach a class! Everything I needed to know was in this book, and I was confident from the beginning.

Summary: Ideal resource for busy professionals
Review: I work with a small group of engineers who give sales and technical presentations to a broad spectrum of audiences. Our customer and distribution base is global, therefore presentations span the gamut from live groups of 6 - 300 to internet webinars broadcast live the world. I prepared a small workshop for our group to enhance our presentation skills in delivering the content and constructing the visual aids with MS Powerpoint.
I purchased seven books on the subject to prepare this workshop and "The Presentation Skills Workshop" is the only source that really provides a useful format to put together meaningful content quickly and easily. I was thrilled that I did not need to read 300 pages of text and then start from scratch to organize the content into the presentation for my group. I especially like the flexibility in constructing a half-day, full-day or comprehensive week long format.
Thank you for a truly useful resource.
