Just finished the G5 Leadership session by Connie Dieken entitled The Pitch, by the author of Talk Less, Say More.
It’s about how to present with power and persuasion to get people to buy-in to your ideas.
Important take-away, presentations should influence, not inform. I’ve got to agree, so many people just get up and read the slides.
Nobody wants to sit through that. Nobody wants to endure someone who likes to hear themselves talk.
She’s the first person who I’ve ever heard talk about the need for a presentation to have a single statement summary.
Good material on intent vs. impact.
PowerPoint presentations should be the backup to your lead vocals.
Nicely done.
