Communications Insight For More Inspiring Leaders A Key Idea For Those First Meetings

A Key Idea For Those First Meetings

 16th Mar 2022
Hugely enjoyable (and intense) day working with a European team of #privateequity investors today.

A key idea for you to consider for those ‘first meetings’ where you may turn up armed with a slide deck.

Make the most of your time connecting with the other party BEFORE you go anywhere near your slides (whether hard copy or digital).

Your connection with your listener can be won or lost before you go past the title slide.

Slides hoover up audience bandwidth.

What if you were to put them to one side completely?!

In the end, it’s about You and Your Client/Prospect/Partner.

You’re in a relationship business.

All else is secondary.

I employed Simon for one-on-one presentation skills coaching, as I was required to speak at my company's annual conference. With Simon's advice, coaching and guidance, I gained valuable knowledge and confidence which made a huge difference to, and significantly improved, my delivery on the day. Simon is a great coach, and I will certainly consider using his services within my business going forward.
