Love to Make Presentations? Or Not?
In 1994 I gave my first real public presentation. It was at a Microsft TechEd conference in front of 7,500 people. If you were asked to give a presentation to that many people, how would you feel? Would you be, like, awesome! Can’t wait! Walk in the park!
Or would you feel freaked out, as in, you couldn’t pay me enough to do that!
That was my story. In fact, in 1994 if I had to present in front of a group of 10 people I was uncomfortable. I hated presenting. I was in that statistic of people who would rather die than speak publicly!
Insights from Nancy Duarte
If you don’t particularly enjoy giving presentations, I understand. Though 1994 was a near death experience for me, 19 years later I make a living doing it. There’s hope for us all and Nancy Duarte is a great leader for us all to learn from.
In this episode, Nancy shares ideas from her recent book HBR Guide to Persuasive Presentations.
