Praise for Peter's Seminar Presentation Skills Workshops: "Peter has been a tremendous asset in coaching our guys on every aspect of Presentation. He's helped build up their experience, and most importantly, their confidence." --Tony Granger, Global Chief Creative Officer, Y&R "We have had over 100 of our senior and mid-level people go through Coughter's workshops. The results have been impressive. Rarely do we now prepare for a presentation without someone saying, "Have we Coughter'd it? That is the best endorsement of all in terms of the impact he has had with our company." --Peter G. Krivkovich, President & CEO, Cramer-Krasselt "Peter is a teacher, leader and a Zen master." -John Adams, Chairman The Martin Agency, "What you'll love about this work is the total freshness it brings to presentations. From the very first chapter, Coughter redefines the challenge, resets the approach and shares invaluable tales from the front lines that will make you ache for a chance to get back in the game."-Dan Wieden, President, Wieden & Kennedy "So you've spent hours, days, and weekends working on your next big idea? Well, all your work may count for diddly squat if you can't sell it. That's where Coughter's book can help. It's like getting one of his valuable Workshops in book form." - Luke Sullivan, Chair, Advertising Department, Savannah College of Art & Design and author of Hey Whipple, Squeeze This 'This book is full of stories from great presenters. I know many of them. Three are on my list of the top people I've ever heard present. Peter Coughter is the best of them. Every creative person, every account person, every client, every Marketer everywhere should read this book. It is essential to selling your ideas.' - Pam El, VP, Marketing, State Farm 'Peter Coughter is not only a master of the pitch, he's an outstanding teacher. Read what he writes, and then read it again. This book is a gem.' - John Adams, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, The Martin Agency, Praise for Peter's Seminar Presentation Skills Workshops: 'Peter has been a tremendous asset in coaching our guys on every aspect of Presentation.
