MARK MAGNACCA

 

Supercharge Your Success by Answering the One Question That Everyone Cares About:

Presentational Skills for the Next Generation
Presentational Skills for the Next Generation (Kindle Edition)

Buy new: $9.95

First tagged by cacophony
Customer tags: language, public speaking, presentations

Review & Description

“Presentational Skills for the Next Generation covers a wide range of topics that presenters need to know. Some of the topics, such as organizing the content and working with audio-visual technology are rarely covered. The author’s emphasis on rehearsing and considering the audience first are very valuable. You’ll also find excellent coverage on the delivery aspect of presenting, including how to dress, what equipment to pack, dealing with fear, and more. The Resources section at the end is very useful, too.”

The Last Hustle
The Last Hustle (Paperback)
By Kenny Johnson

Buy new: $16.45
5 used and new from $13.50

First tagged by kenneth johnson
Customer tags: redemption, spirituality, public speaking, crime drama

Review & Description

For thirty-one years Kenny Johnson's most fervent desire was to hear his name 'ringing in the streets' as a hustler, thief, and pimp. Running parallel with that desire was a persistent seed of spiritual longing that would not leave him alone. Kenny was arrested thirty-seven times and spent much of his life in prison, or on the run. Each time behind bars sent him into a deep and profound despair. Eventually his desire for lasting freedom would drive him to find a power that could not only get him through his final sentence, but free him from prison forever. The Last Hustle, written in the first person, is the story of Kenny's life as a criminal and his transformation in prison. Gangaji says of the book, "Kenny Johnson has written a stirring tale of redemption. His story proves that however hard and unpromising our particular life circumstances, we can discover true happiness. As we follow the arc of his life, we recognize his mistakes and his opportunities. Finally, he recognizes that to live a free life, he must turn his attention to a bigger life than he has known. This is the same choice we all are given, and his book compellingly invites us into the bigger life." Read more
