Excerpt
Excerpt from Making Powerful Presentations: A Holistic Approach for Leaders:
It doesn’t take the skills of a Greek orator like Demosthenes to make effective presentations. However, every effort should me made to prepare yourself to give the best performance possible. Failure to do so will result in missed opportunities. According to William Hewlett, co-founder Hewlett-Packard, “the ability to clearly communicate ideas to clients and colleagues is a rare skill, yet one that often makes the difference in whether or not a great concept succeeds."
Every day, in every city, thousands of presentations are made. Few of these will be remembered for any length of time. If you make a living by speaking/training/facilitating, your can substantially increase your business by making memorable presentations. Not only will people remember what you have said, they will also tell others about your skills. Word of mouth is your best advertising. Even if you only do presentations on ad-hoc basis, effective presentation skills will make you stand out from the crowd thus increasing your opportunities for recognition and promotion.
