Advice on how to develop presentation skills

Hi,

I will be finishing my job in April/May and heading into the job market. One area Im not very experienced at is presentation skills - especially where a scenario is given and 40 minutes later you are asked to make the 10/15 minutes presentation.

Does anyone know of a good book, course, CD etc where I can start to develop this skill ?

Any advice appreciated

thanks

I don't think that you'll learn this skill effectively from a book or CD. I had good training on this stuff from Carr Communications many years ago, including video review of presentations - painful but effective.
