Become a Better Business Presenter - Almost Instantly

Sunday November 1, 2009

Today's new article, while hardly a comprehensive guide to making effective business presentations, does offer you my most important tips for speaking to groups.

I had to learn all of these the hard way and my stories are legion from the process. Perhaps these tips will shorten your learning curve and calm the fear of speaking queasiness you may experience at the thought of speaking to groups.

Starting today, this is World Communication Week. Beginning with today's lead article, I'll focus on some successful communication skills and considerations. Let's start with how to give feedback with impact and how to receive feedback with grace and dignity. Remember, feedback, done with care and with maximum impact as the goal, is a two-way street.

As a native English speaker, my vote is for Esperanto.
