Presentations Worse than Death – a cure?
October 16, 2008 by Russell · Leave a Comment
I went to an interesting session run by the London Business Forum recently on presentation skills. The usual statistic was produced in terms of making a public presentation being the number one fear of people – even more than dying. 42% said this was the number one fear versus only 28% for dying.
Why has the US bailout failed?

Was the US bailout package the right thing to do? Probably. Should the bill have been passed by the House of Representatives? Probably. So why didn’t it? Everyone agreed it was critical to the future of the American economy.
Poor presentation of key messages resulted in 100-1 American citizens against the bill. From the name of the package to the average Joe’s understanding of what was actually on the table, it was flawed before it even got to ‘the House’.
