  • Hey, thanks for the nice comments. Well, except for the head thing. :-) No, you're right. I do. Made me laugh to hear you mention it. Anyway, thanks again. All the best!

  • Hi David,

    Thank you for making some important points.

    I totally get your point. I am a 'presentation skills' trainer, and what you are talking about is the most important skill to be taught. Having mastered that, you do have to address vocal quality, eye contact, gestures. It comes naturally to you, but a lot of speakers struggle with physical skills and if you are mumbling and slouching you will detract from excellent content.

  • @joniarcher Thanks for the comments! Of course you're right. I work on skills myself. I really just wanted to make the point that as people are searching on PP backgrounds, etc, they probably should be thinking more about what they're planning to say in the first place.

    All the best!

    David

  • your delivery, not just your message, is amazing. Great communicator, your born to do presentations. Bet your in H.R. for a major company. :)

  • I totally agree with you David!

  • very good......

  • never done one but i have to do it for a job what the best way to go about it?

  • You have great skills. Other than your head always tilting to the left.... you are one of the best speakers I have ever seen. A real MasterCommunicator. I was just messing with you on the head tilt thing. But you do tilt your head.

  • I am preparing a presentation and you have given me excellent points - its about what we say and how we interact with our audience. Thanks for the uplift!

  • PPT? Ughh.. Word 97..

    Well said David.

    We all need this!
