Today I would like to share with you some interesting quotes from the “Presenting To Win” book that I mentioned on my yesterday’s post.
So here they come:
…Every presentation is a stepping stone on the path to ultimate success. If any one presentation fails, there will be no tomorrow. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. …treat every presentation as if it was as a mission-critical as an IPO (Initial Public Offering) road show…
…Every business presentation has one common goal: the all-important art of persuasion, an art with literally dozens of applications for which everyone in business must be prepared. Persuasion is the classic challenge of sounding the clarion call to action, of getting your target audience to the experience known as Aha!
… Aha! is the moment when you know your audience is ready to march to your beat…
…The problem is that nobody knows how to tell a story. And what’s worse, nobody knows that they don’t know how to tell a story!..
…A clear and concise story can give a presenter the clarity of mind to present with poise…
…The good presenter grabs their (the audience) minds at the beginning of the presentation, navigates them through through all the various parts, themes, and ideas, never letting go, and then deposits them at the call to action…
That’s that for now. Any comments, please share with us.
I came accross this video on YouTube and decided to share. I completely stopped using the Internet Explorer ages ago, only using it for browser compatibility checks for our projects.
Personally, I love the Tab Mix Plus Add On and Bookmark shortcuts (g keyword for google search, for example) features. Cool !!! Anyway, here is the video:
I have recieved an email from McAfee educating how to avoid junk mails from spammers and decided to share that with you:
Don’t publish your email address on any website or discussion forum.
Use a separate email address to sign up for newsletters, online postings and trade shows. If your mailbox starts receiving an abundance of spam, you can delete the mailbox or filter it more aggressively
If you didn’t originally sign up to receive an email, or if you don’t recognize the sender, do not unsubscribe from the list. By unsubscribing, you show the spammer that your email address is active.
If you use web-based email services, report spam to the service provider. This helps the provider more accurately determine which messages are spam.
Keep a collection of mail you want to stop receiving and determine which email addresses or phrases in the messages don’t change. Use this information to keep further unwanted email out of your inbox by creating filters using your McAfee software. [Hey, I am not advertising them though ]
Do not reply to spam and, most importantly, don’t buy anything from spammers.
Use anti-spam software, which blocks 97 percent to 99 percent of spam to significantly reduce the spam in your inbox
