Just as you can__ rehearse your way to success, you can__ design your way there either.

When preparing a presentation, it__ never a good idea to begin with a rule. If you do, you__e focusing on the appearance of good delivery and not the effect of it.

It__ hard to hold a conversation with people when you__e not seeing them.

We should just stop calling these things presentations altogether. Everyone gets hung up on that word. Wouldn__ it be easier to just call them conversations? That__ really what they are.

During the first few minutes of your presentation, your job is to assure the audience members that you are not going to waste their time and attention.

Improvement is achieved by the ripple effect of a few simple changes in approach, attitude, or habit.

A successful presentation needs to be both buttoned up (orderly) and free-flowing (a conversation). The tension between the two, the fact that both things are happening at once, defines the process.
