It’s All About the Icing on the Cake
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Matthew Gutierrez shares speech coach, Sally Chopping’s recipe for delivering an excellent presentation. Check out my main summaries from the piece.
- Presentations are just like a good slice of cake; you won’t enjoy the inside if the icing on top isn’t tasty and edible
- To clarify; your message and content can be great, but if you fail on delivery you will still lose your audience
- It’s not just for formal business presentations either; this icing skill is the key to speaking in public, carrying yourself well in an interview, selling something and engaging large groups of people
- Learn to channel your nerves, be prepared, and speak from your heart
