15 Minutes Including Q & A - A Book Review

Joey Asher follows the same pattern in this book as he suggests for presentations. Each chapter is a bunch of tips followed by a quick one-line takeaway. He suggests telling stories, rehearsing a lot among other great tips to deliver a great presentation.

The book is a quick read and is recommended to all readers looking to improve their presentation skills.

I also recommend Scott Berkun's book "Confessions of a Public Speaker", which is also equally good.

Horrible Bosses - A Review

This is the first Kevin Spacey movie I have seen in a theatre. Having seen him in The Usual Suspects, American Beauty, Se7en and Glen Garry Glen Ross, I was looking forward to this movie.

Spacey brings his usual game of the boss with a dark side. Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman provide solid support along with Jason Sudekis and the other guy (whose name I cannot recollect).

Colin Farrell has taken the Tom Cruise route of playing a gross character to reinvigorate his career. Hope that works out well for him !!!

On the whole, a fun movie that may not remain in the memory for long, but is fun while it lasts.
