This book is very different and very valuable. Dont be fooled by the title. It is not about the iPadsince I use a Nexus 7. This book is about reimagining, reinventing, and remaking your presentations even if you are using napkins and a pen in a coffee shop or drawing your ideas in dirt around a campfire. This is a must-have book even for people who simply want to kick butt and change the world.

Ray and Bobs presentation model is called P-XL2Presentation Excellence Squared. It focuses on combining creativity, psychology, strategy, and technology in ways that not only cater to left-brain intellect, but also stir up and ignite right-brain emotions and feelings. In short, its a model for transforming any presentation or speech into an enchanting experience.

Read this book and it will help you create an inferno of possibilities and opportunities that propel you ahead at warp speed. By applying the uber-imaginative ideas and techniques in it, you will not only enchant others into action, but find that giving Killer Presentations is immensely more satisfying, pleasurable, and worthwhile for you. The results you get will amaze and astound you.

Special thanks to my genius friend Charlie Lindahl, who did extensive, superb research for the Resources section along with contributing lots of great feedback and insights. Barbara Boyd is the ultimate professional, who helped us out with her writing contributions and iPad app reviews. Barbara is the author of several books about the iPad and Pinterest marketing. She was a delight to work with. Donna Mosher, my excellent editor, wonderfully helped to get my chapters tight and sparkling. Thank you so much, Donna, for your expertise and experience that made the real difference. Much appreciation goes to my two graphic designer friends, Allison Ashton and Leonard Broussard, who did illustrations for the book. Both of you are creative illustrators to the max. Thanks to Professor Michael Devoley of Lonestar College, who gave me great advice and feedback on the psychology of communication. The fine people who posed for my photos include Peter Han, Christie Cannon, Serena Duncan, and Lori Van Deilen. Your modeling added much to the book. Final thanks go to Casie Vogel of McGraw-Hill, who was a delight to work with, and Carole Jelen of Waterside Products, our most competent, get-results literary agent. And I thank Almighty God for giving me a rich life filled with overflowing opportunities and wonderful people!
