Do you want to make presentations described by Cliff Atkinson in Beyond Bullet Points but are having trouble with using storyboards and composing Acts I, II, & III? Jerry Weismman in Presenting to Win provides the structure to enable you to do that. Jerry is a craftsman and he presents his concepts very clearly and convincingly - he can actually do what he tells you to do! I provide training workshops some of which span three days. Each workshop is customized and I utilize PowerPoint to provide the visual part of the presentation. I haven't been able to totally eliminate bullet points for a presentation of that length - though I have dramatically reduced the number of them! Jerry's techniques for understanding and improving the mechanics of your presentation cover the last half of the book and have been equally valuable to me as the story telling portion which the first half.
If implementing Beyond Bullet Points is giving you trouble but you are convinced that the concept is the right one; then Presenting to Win is essential. Regardless, Presenting to Win can help you make clear, powerful presentations that enable your participants get to Point B!

Jerry has articulated practice based high impact tips for any communicator (all humans) to deliver high impact message. It is interesting that my 12 year old twins mastered the contents for their class project in a very short time.
The key points that were useful to them were: Opening gambit, WIIFY, making the numbers sing.
A good companion book to read would be Roger Ailes 'The Message Is You'
A great book with massive contribution to humankind.

If you ever give presentations, ignore this book at your own risk. The risk that people may listen politely to your presentation, but then go out in the hall and say to each other, "but what was the point?" Or even just, "nice presentation but I don't see how I can apply anything I learned from it in my work." Weissman weaves together common-sense and practical recommendations for how to write, prepare for, and deliver presentations. Relates to PowerPoint without making it the central topic (which, of course, it's not). Draws on experience in hitech, as well as rhetorical skills from the ages. I can only quote Weissman himself, "If a presentation is worth doing at all, it's worth doing well."

"Presenting to Win" brings Weissman's experience as a presentation coach, television producer, screenwriter, and novelist to full bloom as he coaches us to "tell our story." His "goal B" is to insure we make a first impression that demonstrates command, and deserves the confidence and money of others.
Jerry Weissman is the master of the power presentation. Weissman has been working with top venture capitalists and entrepreneurs since Ben Rosen, the legendary venture capitalist, had him coach the CEO of Compaq Computer Corporation, Rod Canion, in 1987. Since working with Canion, he has coached hundreds of CEOs and senior executives from many of the most successful companies over the past twenty years, including Adobe Systems, Intel, Intuit, Microsoft, Netflix, and Yahoo.
"Presenting to Win" is the bible for power presentations.
