The Ultimate Resource to Transform Your Business Presentations and Get Business Done.
About the Book
Unleash Your Business Communication Potential
Welcome to The Orderly Conversation: Business Presentations Redefined, a groundbreaking book and resource designed specifically for business presenters like you. You and your team can say goodbye to traditional presentation rules that don’t quite fit the real-world dynamics of today’s business settings. Instead, you can embrace this fresh, practical new approach tailored to the everyday, results-driven presentations that drive businesses forward.
A Shift in Focus: Embracing Presentations as Conversations, Not Speeches
In the business world, presentations are not one-way speeches or TED Talks; they are dynamic exchanges of structured information meant to foster progress through meaningful conversation. For example, traditional resources and presentation skills training often focus on speechmaking and assume that Q&A is to be reserved for the end. Our approach treats these interactions as a fruitful element throughout.
The Orderly Conversation distinguishes itself by challenging traditional approaches and replacing them with something better.
Our groundbreaking methodology helps you:
- Revolutionize and simplify your presentation approach
- Improve self-awareness and reduce self-consciousness
- Connect with people, read the room, and react
- Identify and leverage your unique strengths for maximum impact
- Cut through noise for concise and efficient communication
- Facilitate discussions that get business done
With The Orderly Conversation as your guide, presentations become responsive, flexible, and tailored to your audience and business needs.

We Embrace Your Uniqueness as a Business Presenter and Communicator
We recognize and embrace your uniqueness as a business presenter and communicator. We understand that cookie-cutter solutions won’t suffice when it comes to your specific communication challenges. That’s why The Orderly Conversation goes the extra mile by providing additional resources, such as the Default Assessment. This assessment allows you to gain deeper insights into your own communication approach and provides relatable challenges along with tailored recommendations for adjustments. By implementing these personalized strategies, you’ll experience significant improvements and unlock your full potential, helping you excel in your presentations like never before.
Assessing Your Default Approach
Are you a Writer or an Improviser?
Take the assessment to find out.
In our experience, we’ve discovered that people fall into two general approaches when preparing for presentations and meetings. We refer to these approaches as “Writers” and “Improvisers.” Determining your Default Approach is essential to understanding your preferences and making necessary improvements.
- Writers: Place great emphasis on preparation and default to an approach that prefers a controlled communication environment. These presenters are often inflexible and strict in their delivery.
- Improvisers: Believe in their ability to connect and respond to their audience and like to be spontaneous, often to the point of under-preparing. These presenters can easily lose focus during delivery.
By understanding your Default Approach, you can learn to adapt by leaning into strengths and learning new skills to compensate for weaknesses.
