imageResonate: Present Visual Stories that Transform Audiences, by Nancy Duarte

FIR book editor Bob LeDrew reviews Nancy Duarte’s “Resonate.” According to the Amazon.com review, “Presentations are meant to inform, inspire, and persuade audiences. So why then do so many audiences leave feeling like they’ve wasted their time? All too often, presentations don’t resonate with the audience and move them to transformative action. Just as the author’s first book helped presenters become visual communicators, Resonate helps you make a strong connection with your audience and lead them to purposeful action. The author’s approach is simple: building a presentation today is a bit like writing a documentary. Using this approach, you’ll convey your content with passion, persuasion, and impact.”
