When I teach executive presentation skills to clients, one of the lessons I try to convey is that their presentations are more boring than they think. Seriously. Watch most corporate presentations. They're snoozers! 💤 We then talk about ways to improve them. Terri Sjodin joined us in episode 414 to talk about her book Presentation Ready. Her extensive research identifies the top reasons why presentations go wrong, and her book explains how to avoid those. Check out this snippet from the discussion with Terri. Then queue up episode 414 of the People and Projects Podcast to learn more. She shares some practical ideas that will help you with that presentation you have coming up! #projectmanagement #hapmo #management #leadership #pmo #presentationskills #freePDUs #PDU
Presentation skills are something I am seeking to improve on. My strengths lie in live conversation, and presenting is just a whole different feel. Any tips on how to make things not so boring?
Great episode. Thank you!
This works both ways. Sometimes you deliver a presentation and think it was mediocre at best, but the feedback afterwards is extremely positive. In that case, I chalk it up to either a) me being my own worst critic or b) the audience has had to put up with some pretty poor presenters in the past and, by comparison, my presentation was better!
A great Episode Andy Kaufman I am a religious follower and listener of People & Projects Pod, but every once in a while you have a guest like Terri Sjodin, causes me to re-listen to the whole pod and buy the book Keep up the great work both of you
Great podcast. One thing I am reminded of, is to put a suit on during a speech delivery at my local TM club. It does change your mindset. Thanks Andy Kaufman as always.
