Communications Insight For More Inspiring Leaders Too Many Presentations are a Complete Waste of Time

Too Many Presentations are a Complete Waste of Time

 4th Jul 2022

Change - old way new way

Too many #presentations are a complete waste of time.

Why?

Because nothing changes as a result!

Auto-pilot presenting yields auto-pilot listening.

Any professional who views a #presentation, #pitch, #speech or important meeting...

As a task to "get done"

A box to tick

Or an exercise in simply voicing some content

Will struggle to achieve real impact as a #communicator.

View such situations instead as opportunities to drive meaningful Change.

Struggling to see how that can be achieved?

Who knows, you may find yourself agreeing to fewer presentations, pitches, speeches and/or "important" meetings.
