You probably hate giving presentations; you probably hate listening to them too. Why? Because most business presentations are too long, too detailed, too boring, and submerged under a blizzard of PowerPoint. But the single most important presentational tool known to man isn't a slideshow; it's you. Whether you're speaking to one person across a table, 20 people in a boardroom or 1,000 people in a ballroom, it's all about the words you say and how you say them.

Story
The belief that one can meet the challenge of life and succeed and act in a way that conveys that belief can be characterized as faith in oneself. Faith requires a realistic sense of skill and a sense of confidence in this knowledge. A realistic assessment of one's ability allows one to strike a healthy balance between too much and too little trust. Too much confidence is seen as cockiness and pride. Overestimating one's skills can lead to problems such as not having projects completed on time.

Great Cross Section of CM Case Examples
Enjoyable Interesting & Useful if only perhaps a bit dated from the 90's era? Worthy kick starter examples of Change Management in big business organisations. Offering sound framework, best practices, and systems for change management. Uncertain how these will work in the smaller organisation, but I feel they are helpful, de-scalable and remain relevant. Especially like the additional 'Ideas in Brief' and the 'Ideas in Practice' side bards too! Definitely recommend this text for any MBA'r wishing to learn and trace back CM initiatives and successes stories for winning solutions.

Bit out dated really
Some of the papers are 25 years old so although the ideas are good, things have moved on since then. Narration is a bit dull and I resent that the female narrator only gets to read the one paper or of ten written by a women.

Good Information, just dated
The articles were good, but felt like they were dated. There were not any surprises or revelations if you have read at least one book or article regarding change management. Would like to have heard articles from the last few years on how firms are dealing with change in hyper competitive markets and multigenerational workforce. Overall a good collection that compliment each other.

good collection from 90s of best practices. intere
interesting to hear some of the best practices from decades ago about organizational change management or ocm have not changed substantially. I think a lot of this is around the fact that management in general and change management is challenging and this demonstrates that we need to take new approaches and New Attitudes to change in an organization.
