I went to a business conference recently to see a colleague give a major presentation. During the course of the conference I saw speakers of every skill level. Some were dynamic, interesting and had good eye contact. My associate gave a particularly strong speech – one that was memorable for both its content and passionate delivery.
However, most of the speakers were deadly dull. Presenter after present stood up and read speech after speech. One person had all of her notes drop to the floor where they soon become out of order. Anther speaker awkwardly stopped and started a few times. Other speakers failed to get close enough to the microphone; hence the audience couldn’t hear anything they said.
