Pond Life is a very straightforward guide to helping people improve their communication and presentations skills. It can be applied to either a work or personal context. This book uses a unique approach to solve the communication challenges facing us today. Not only the "how do we inspire the team" type challenges, but also the very personal emotional blockages that prevent people truly fulfilling their potential as great communicators.
