Presentation skills: who needs ’em? Now, amazing as that sounds, that is exactly what some people think. Unless you are living as a hermit in a cave or isolated on some distant planet, you will find yourself in the company of others and have to present yourself – through words, or actions, or both.
It doesn’t matter if you are working with computers, crunching numbers or itemizing accounts, in sales or service, management or self-employed, situations will surface where you’ll be called upon to present your ideas, your budgets, your findings and your proposals … and you will have to present them well.
People enjoy listening to presenters who exude a natural confidence. Don’t let nervousness prevent you from being your best, from showing who you really are and what you are capable of. In fact, the more confident you feel, the more competent you will appear to your audience. And, the easier it will be for you to connect and build a positive and lasting relationship with them. So, when it comes to presentation skills: who needs ‘em? We all do.
Developing sound presentation skills is similar to developing a fitness regime. If you don’t use it, you lose it. On February 23rd & 24th, I will be hosting an action-packed two day presentation skills workshop: From Tongue-Tied to Terrific. If you would like to attend, or know of someone who would like to attend, please let me know.
