Topic: Purposeful presenting

Most of us don't look forward to speaking publicly. But we're often called on to do so — formally and informally, to big groups or small ones, on screens and in rooms; often aiming to get people on board with our point of view. And we all instinctively know a good presenter when we see one — they make it look easy, and seem so natural doing it. But if we want to get better, where do we begin?

Ultimately it's all about 'being ourselves with skill', and authentically approaching any kind of presentation well prepared, with practical frameworks in mind, smart tools to hand and a willingness to adapt to what comes from our audience. Because as the old saying goes ‘no plan survives contact with the enemy’.
