The Body of Your Presentation
by Dale Ludwig, June 2008

In the last issue of this newsletter, I wrote about the three parts of a presentation: introduction, body and conclusion.

My point was that when presenters think about engaging their listeners in a two-way conversation rather than delivering a product, they are much more likely to succeed. In this issue, I'd like to focus on some of the ideas we all need to think about when it comes to preparing our presentations.
