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.

 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. I heard indirectly that my presentation had been particularly inspirational - one person even contacted the Director of my organisation to say how impressed he had been. Without any exaggeration, I give all this credit to Simon.
