Acknowledgements
Upon reflecting on all of the individuals who have helped contribute to this book, I realize that this may be one of the more difficult sections of this book to write. There have been so many people willing to help, in a variety shapes and forms. I am truly blessed to have surrounded myself with such incredible people.
The contents of this book reflect the countless hours of observation, collaboration, and research of countless presenters over time. Before I go too far, this book would not have been possible but for the work of many scientists and researchers who have selflessly shared their findings with the world. Never more has Sir Isaac Newtons Standing on the shoulders of giants rang true.

To my friend and brother, Gianni Vitucci, thank you for motivating me to take the first step in writing this book and for encouraging me throughout the process. A deep and special thank you to Ed Wu, for illuminating this path and giving me a nudge in the right direction now and again. And a special thank you to Drew Smith for always being there to review and discuss ideas.
Id also like to extend my gratitude to Wajeeh Alvi for assisting with the visual aids and graphics. The Professional Presentation Framework is a masterpiece. Thank you to Gianluca Agostinelli for your assistance in proofreading and suggesting revisions to improve the quality of the book. Your suggestions have helped a great deal.

Thank you to Greg Higginbotham for assisting with the design and formatting of the supplemental material and resources.
