Presentation and Baseball: The Power of the Present

I recently came across an op-ed article in the New York Times by David Brooks that struck me as significant for the art of presenting. In his piece, Brooks examines <a href = “ http://www.amazon.com/Men tal-ABCs-Pitching-Perform ance-Enhancement/dp/18886 98292”> “The Mental ABC’s of Pitching” </a> by the sport psychologist H.A.

Wake Up Your Audience

Why do you make presentations? Is it your idea? An assignment? A necessity? Part of your job? Of course there must be a reason for each presentation: to sell...to educate...to motivate. But to what kind of audience? To your boss? To an audience of a thousand people? Or maybe to one very important client? (But aren’t all clients important?)

Using Symbols in Your Presentation

"Everything in life cannot be grasped by the logic-centered left brain." D.T.Suzuki Sometimes you need more than your own dynamic self to get your message across. Just standing there and talking is not very creative and not much of a strategy. You might be a great speaker or think you’re a great speaker, but don’t take any chances that you might miss reaching your audience. Especially if you...

Transparency and Reputation

When an eager young person, perhaps a recent college graduate, applies for a job, will they mention their MySpace page? Or their Facebook entry? Probably not, but those sites can be checked, regardless of whether or not they’ve added them to their resume, application or(for some reason) are discussing them during their job interview.

The peaceful ring of a Tibetan singing bowl – no shouting, no laughing, no airborne paper objects. In a New York Times article by Patricia Leigh Brown, she explains the unlikely practice of mindful awareness being practiced by kids in an Oakland school. ...

Succinct Skills

We’ve all heard that less is more, but not when applied to the frenetic, fact-filled culture of today. Today we are constantly bombarded with information, junk, information, junk information. There’s little "free space" left – with advertising embedded on the shopping cart, popping up on the computer screen, scrolling across the TV, you name it. Feeling like there’s barely any space left in our...

Connecting Through Questions

In computer terms, a “connection” occurs when we are joined with others through a communication link. To connect with your customers and colleagues is to join with them in a shared experience. It involves sharing ideas and information by coming together with them. When we feel rapport with someone, a sense of trust and affinity begins to develop. There is a sense of two-way interchange based...

Creating a Story

Who doesn’t love a story?! Whether it’s ours or theirs, fiction or non-fiction? Who doesn’t want to be drawn in and captivated? From the days of humans exchanging tales around a flickering cave fire to watching today’s widescreen TV, storytelling as a way of embellishing or improvising an event is an art that will always be with us.
