The Art of Persuasion: Impactful Presentations Skills 4.75 http://spkr8.com/t/5640

Description:

In today's corporate world most positions involve making presentations - be it to clients, colleagues or to management. And the truth is, just as a book is often judged by its cover we are, more often than not, judged by how we say things rather than what we say.

Presentation is more than simply standing at a podium and running through a series of PowerPoint slides. It is about engaging the audience and presenting your ideas in a clear, concise and persuasive manner.

A persuasive presentation should change the emotional state of the audience so they believe and feel a decision must be made.....right now. Your role as presenter is to motivate and incite the audience to act, think and feel differently as a result of what you've said so they will take some form of action.

I invited Fred to speak at a meeting for the NH Chapter of the Usability Professionals' Association (NH UPA). Fred's presentation was excellent! He shared his extensive knowledge with the group on how to present and how to better understand your audience. He kept everyone engaged and very entertained. I highly recommend having Fred speak at any event and I look forward to seeing him present again.
