What’s the true financial cost of poor presenting?

Here’s one way of calculating…

Tot up the total number of hours spent listening to presentations that are a complete waste of time.

Add to that the total number of hours spent by presenters delivering or preparing to deliver presentations that are a complete waste of time.

Multiply by the number of people concerned.

Multiple by the average amount spent by employers paying people to fulfil either/both of the first two calculations.

Whatever the currency, the total amount will invariably be upsetting.

Two Tips for boosting ROI for pretty much any pointless presentation:

Option A: improve the presentation (e.g. by clarifying desired change, refining key messages, developing listener-friendly content and better delivery)

Option B: cancel the presentation.

What I've appreciated most has been the increased thought the team has been putting into how they come across and what they say. Colleagues in other teams have already commented on the improvement in both skills and confidence.
