Presenting is such an important skill.<\/p>\n
The Uniform Code of Military Justice says that any officer who sends a soldier into battle without a weapon can be court-martialed.<\/span><\/p>\n Well, if there were a code of justice in the business world<\/a>, it might say this. Any one of us who goes into our careers without first arming or equipping ourselves to be good presenters will suffer consequences<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Why? Because our careers depend on how we speak, how we write, and how we think–in that order.<\/span><\/p>\n However, don\u2019t forget that nobody knows what you think until you speak or write. Moreover, these days people don’t read– they skim, they scan, and they surf.<\/span><\/p>\n They wait for the meeting. Or, they wait for the presentation. In other words, they wait for somebody to come into the room, make the points, and make the arguments come alive.<\/span><\/p>\n Another thing to keep in mind is that business is not a writing culture. Business is a verbal culture, \u00a0and you don’t get<\/span> rewarded in business for your brilliant writing. You get rewarded and promoted because you can sell yourself and your ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s precisely why I believe presenting is such an important skill.<\/span><\/p>\n Good public speaking gives you that ability to sell yourself and your ideas.<\/span><\/p>\nHow can we help?<\/span><\/h4>\n
