Grab 'Em is short and concise. There is a lot of really useful information in this book. This is more than just a self help book. It is full of practical tips as well as common mistakes to avoid. Reinoud van Rooij is a certified Myers-Briggs personality typist, and in this book, he encourages you to let your own natural personality shine. This will really make your presentations seem more natural and less forced and awkward.Grab 'Em will not make you an expert presenter overnight. The author gives you the basic skills you need and outlines things in a way that is easy to read and will really help you to fully understand the basics of what makes a presentation great. Once you understand and absorb the information, you will be more confident and able to create your own presentations using the framework Grab 'Em provides.Public speaking is difficult for just about everyone. It can be nerve-wracking, however this book breaks public presenting down into easily digestible parts and makes it a lot easier to swallow. There is also a section detailing how to make effective PowerPoint slides, something I found very helpful. Whether you need to do public presentations in any official capacity or you just want to feel more at ease speaking in front of people, I would really recommend this book. There is something in Grab 'Em for everyone!
