Resonate

Present Visual Stories That Transform Audiences

By: Nancy Duarte

Narrated by: Sarah Zimmerman

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.

• Author has a proven track record, including having created the slides in Al Gore's Oscar winning An Inconvenient Truth
• Focuses on content development methodologies that are not only fundamental but will move people to action
• Upends the usual paradigm by making the audience the hero and the presenter the mentor
• Shows how to use story techniques of conflict and resolution

Presentations don't have to be boring ordeals. You can make them fun, exciting, and full of meaning. Leave your audiences energized and ready to take action with Resonate.

This audiobook is expertly read by Sarah Zimmerman, with audio engineering by Allie McSwain. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Near impossible to listen

Unfortunately, it's close to impossible to listen. Something is constantly "shown on the right," but there is no "right" in an audiobook, so I have no idea what the reader is referring to. Also, the accompanying PDF, 130 pages long, is constantly referenced. I want to listen and hear, not to read.

don't waste your time or money

this book failed to deliver. Everything was at the 30,000 foot level. Very few actual helpful tips or ideas on how to improve. It was largely platitudes. Duarte should rewrite this first draft and put in actual examples of things that can help the reader improve their presentations.
