And at …
… and you can get yourself a copy here. Of course you can get it from your local bookshop or you can get it direct from Amazon, but if you make an extra click, I get an extra forty-something pence. Go on… do us both a favour! 😉 It’s been a fantastic, rollercoaster experience (so …

I like to help out, and with the book launch of Presentation Genius on it’s way I thought it would be a good time to pay back. A lot of people have helped and supported us (and me in particular) so it’s only fair that we do! With that in mind, we’re running a Presentation …
