Daria Steigman, SteigmanCommunications.com, wrote a marvelous piece about making good presentations. Inspired by John Gundlach’s presentation to an IABC-DC meeting, she quoted 3 principles he gave for great presentations.
First Principle? Preparation, or “practice, practice, practice.”
Excellent advice, and worth reading by all performers.
As Mr. Gundlach also said,
- 55% of audience opinion is based on visual looks
- 38% of audience opinion is based on tone
- 7 % of audience opinion is based on words
No excuses for not getting everything right!
