3.0 out of 5 stars Handy resource

This book gives a good jumping-off point for crafting speech material. I appreciate having it at hand to get me started or simply over a hump if I'm overworked and my brain isn't functioning at maximum ability -- try frantically printing last-minute collateral, checking the attendance list and dealing with a seating issue...and then getting asked to "write up a few words" for the presenter, and you'll see what I mean, It's useful and a good value for the price. That said, let's start a movement to prevent use of the phrase, "without further ado."

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect if it fits the bill for you
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2007
This book is too basic and repetitive for experienced presenters, but extremely useful for those who are very new to the field, lack confidence, and/or are non-native speakers of English. It presents exact phrases, even entire speeches, for a variety of situations (including formal events). This can be great jumping-off point if you're unsure of yourself in this kind of situation. Although not written for this particular purpose, the book is an excellent choice for any international businessperson who is new to making presentations to Americans and is not 100% confident speaking in English.

3.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the newcomer, otherwise basic and repetitive
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2017
Verified Purchase
This book could be the perfect solution for the right person, but I found it too repetitive and basic. A newcomer or someone who struggles with the English language may have gotten more benefit than me.
The pros:
Quick and easy to read
Broken down by relevant categories
Great section to help those with English as 2nd language

The cons:
Repetitive
Basic
Nothing fresh or new

3.0 out of 5 stars A good reference
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2011
Verified Purchase
Perfect Phrases for Executive Presentations is a basic reference or refresher for people who are just beginning to write or speak at a Senior Manager level. It is not as much help for those already engaged in working with executives. (Well, it did affirm what I have been doing all along:-). It would have been nice to have had this 10-15 years ago.

3.0 out of 5 stars Extensive but tired
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2007
This work has a wide variety of phrases but many have become tired from over-use. It's a good place to start but don't look to it for fresh ideas.

Das Thema diktiert die Form. Nach früheren Versuchen, in denen Ton und Themen bereits anklingen, schienen der Debütroman an sich erstmal die adäquateste Form zu sein, das Denken zu einem Mechanismus des Klopfens auf die eigene Schulter zu machen und dem Roman solang als möglich überdauern zu lassen. Der dazu vermittelnde Buchtitel könnte in etwa lauten: "Ich beweise Sitzfleisch", bis ich mich bei den Alteingesessenen ermitteln lassen kann, was Gott sei's gedankt, ziemlich viel Zeit in Anspruch nehmen kann?

I teach presentation skills in a non-English-speaking environment, and I thought this book would be a good textbook for my students. They responded very well to it and felt it was an excellent resource. I have not used the book myself, but I felt that the students would like it, and they did.
