MIND BLOWING PRESENTATIONS
Using the Element of SURPRISE!

By Joshua Routh

MIND BLOWING PRESENTATIONS is a fun, practical guide to leveling up your speaking—taught through the unusual lens of Joshua Routh: entertainer, corporate trainer, comedy mentalist, sword swallower, and former forest firefighter (and yes, pie-eating contest winner). Along with advanced techniques for polishing your delivery, every other chapter includes a built-in “surprise” you can use to keep audiences locked in. You’ll get an inside look at topics like handling fear, using humor, crafting your stage persona, shaping the room, and debriefing for continual improvement. Not a dry cliché business book—this one’s for presenters who want to blow minds.

Exceptional! Makes you stop and re-evaluate your own presentation skills from the beginning to end. Challenging, and I like and appreciate that. Funny. Insightful. Love the way it reads. An author I will definitely follow.

5 star review

-Blake D.

I enjoyed this book! I would have loved to have read this book 30 years ago before I started giving presentations to groups of 10 - 50 or so salespeople. This is not the typical, bland “how to” book. Josh is not a typical speaker though. He is an accomplished teacher, juggler, hypnotist comic, and student of human behavior. The book is easy to read and full of information in bite size chunks - you can put it down and easily pick back up later - that is designed to help improve presentations in a fun way - no matter whether it is an audience of one or 5000. Insights on how to entertain and inform your audience with humor, quotes, pictures, word puzzles and magic - he even gives tricks he uses! Great chapters dealing with your body language, voice and on dealing with fear. I recommend “Mind Blowing Presentations” to anyone who wants to bring their speaking skills to the next level.

MIND BLOWING PRESENTATIONS

Using the Element of SURPRISE!

By Joshua Routh

This book is a fun and informative look at the world of giving presentations from the unique perspective of Joshua Routh, an entertainer who also happens to be a corporate trainer, comedy mentalist, actor, sword swallower, theater director, juggler, acrobat, hypnotist, circus performer, and former forest firefighter.

Oh, and he once won a pie eating contest.

Not only does this book offer advanced tips and tricks for polishing your presentation skills, every other chapter is a SURPRISE! that a presenter can use to keep their audience engaged.

This book is full of chapters on concepts that presenters think about, or maybe have only heard of, but never really got the inside scoop on. These topics are laid bare and revealed in an insightful, informative, and often humorous way.

These topics include:

  • Crafting your presentation character

  • Dealing with fear

  • Using humor effectively

  • Curation of the performing space

  • Creating a rider

  • Preparing yourself physically for a presentation

  • The power of debrief

  • Understanding the Rhetorical Appeals

  • How to use quotes properly

  • Effective dialogue with your audience

  • AND MORE!

This entertaining book has been found by its readers to be universally accessible and valuable for small venue presenters and professional speakers alike.

Be warned. This is not your standard dry business book full of clichés and worn out ideas. Buckle up. Here there be dragons.

This book is not for everyone, but if you are a presenter that is ready to level up and blow minds, this book is for you.
