Persuasion – Dragon’s Den – Arlene Dickinson

Why are you presenting and honing your skills as a public speaker? To persuade.

Not the disingenuous type of salesmanship where you bought in and later feel duped.

I’m just into Arlene Dickinson’s new book “Persuasion” and her words although written for those who are learning the in’s and out’s of business acumen, apply nicely to the presentation arena.

Dickinson says, ” If I can’t understand what you are talking about, I can’t trust you. Real expertise involves the ability to take a complex subject and distill it to the point where it is accessible to everyone”.

Presentation words to live by.

To your voice,

Janice
