Spent this morning working with a deeply impressive #cfo...

Backed by #privateequity, he has some seriously business-critical #presentations in the coming months.

His initial flow, while solid and credible, was...
(by his own admission!)

Packed with detail.
Dry.
Complex.
Rather flat in the delivery.
"Topic-driven" rather than "Message-led".

By approaching the content as if it were a "conversation", rather than a mere presentation, we were able to...

Strip out a fair bit of detail.
Bring content to life by introducing some micro-stories (human interest is key)
Simplify.
Enliven the delivery in an authentic way.
Focus on messages that are relevant for the listener, rather than recite topics that are merely true of the business.

The result?

Unsurprisingly, a somewhat more engaging listener experience.

Even I understand it... so it MUST be clear!

You have this amazing ability to captivate the audience that makes your sessions such a pleasure to attend! I thoroughly enjoyed the session and picked up some very useful tips to improve my presentation skills; the feedback from my colleagues about your session has been extremely positive as well.
