Golden Top Tip

 

If you’re speaking for Y minutes, don’t let anyone tell you that you must keep to X slides.

Engaging relevance for the audience should be the gauge, not speaking time.

I’ve seen presenters bore audiences to death with a single slide.

I’ve seen presenters hold an audience in the palm of their hand with more than 40 slides in 10 minutes.

 I was recently promoted into a role where public speaking and inspiring people has become more central to my ability to be effective. I was amazed by how effective just one session was.

Without any exaggeration, I give all this credit to Simon.
