When I saw the hyped-up title, "Knockout Presentations: How to Deliver Your Message with Power, Punch and Pizzaz," I winced. But I needed to find a book to teach from that really covered a lot of ground, and DiResta carries through on the promise. If you hate hype, you'll love the book. It delivers what the title promises.
If you want to buy just one book to give you real help from preparing the presentation, through conquering fear, breathing techniques, using your hands, creating useful and easy-to-manage props and checking the room before you present, this is the one book that will give you all that help and more.
To make it even more useful, it's jammed with tips and hints to help you succeed. It is never preachy or pedantic. After each major section, there are checklists to go over to make sure you focus on the most important parts of the previous material. Still more good news: The table of contents and the index are clear and to the point - you can find what you need and concentrate on just what you need help with.
Like a website, there are icons for exercises and case studies. Like the best of print books, there are fill-in boxes for those who prefer a workbook to just reading, and margins big enough to take notes in. I use this book to teach, but it's an ideal book for self-study, too. Need to lose your fear of public speaking? Need to give better presentations? Buy, read, re-read, follow this book and you will be on your way to success. |

Anyone who makes presentations, from novice speakers to seasoned professionals, stands to benefit from DiResta's Knockout Presentations. Her clear and concise writing style, coupled with years of experience as a speaker and coach, make this book stand well above others in the same category. Her strategies and tactics have added even more "power, punch, and pizzazz" to my already high-energy presentations. As a professional speaker and a trainer, that translates to increased business success for me.Thanks, Diane! |

Having been in the communication skill business the past 15 years myself, I am glad to have such a good and user-friendly reference as this book to recommend to my clients - from all backgrounds and industries. It covers every area, and then some. I have a shelf full of other presentation skill books, but Knockout Presentations is still the one I reference and pass along. Should be on every business person's desk, in libraries, and in college book stores. Good bang for the buck. |

I have read hundreds and hundreds of books on how to give presentations. Diresta adds to the genre through sheer force of simple clarity. She cuts through the clutter and helps people focus on the fundamentals they need to go from a poor to good speaker and from a good to great presenter. This book should be in the library of any serious student of speaking. |

As communication specialists and trainers, we have looked for a book to support our training efforts. Had we written a book ourselves, this is the book we would have written. Therefore, we were thrilled to discover Diane DiResta already had. It's philosophy is powerful. It's writing style is readable. Most importantly, the support it offers to speakers of every level is outstanding. We are currently recommending this book to all the participants in our workshops. |

Although I've talked in front of groups for years in a business environment, I needed to restructure my speaking style in order to build my own platform for promoting my newly published book. Knockout Presentations was just what I needed. I found it to be extremely helpful and I refer to it often as my speaking invitations continue to grow. |
