Common Presentation Problems
This series identified recurring problems we see in different types of presentations:
While some problems (weak messaging, lack of practice) affect all presentations, some are very specific (leadership presentations being too directive, team presentations lacking Q&A discipline).
If your team is struggling to engage and influence your audiences, look for some of these root problems. Try the advice offered. Get them into a workshop.
Corporate Storytelling
We explore why so many presenters look so angry - and why audiences deserve better.
To be effective you have to be selective. That's why Message Strategy is so important.
