Why "Presentation Skills Rules"

Hi and Welcome.
This blog is called "Presentation Skills Rules" for two reasons:
  1. There are rules to presenting that, if followed, will make you a master of persuasive presentations.
  2. Being a master of presentation skills means that you can rule over your audiences. Not in the sense of dominating or controlling them, but in the sense of being able to produce a predictable outcome with your audiences.
You see, when presenting, everyone can produce results some of the time. But when you understand the rules of presenting, you will know how to produce results every time. And that's when you'll understand why mastering the rules allows you to rule over your results.

Finally, you may have noticed that I mentioned that you will be a master of persuasive presentations. Usually, we divide presentations into informative, inspirational and persuasive. I include all of these under the category of "persuasion" because you don't just want to inform; you want your audience to be persuaded by that information. You don't just want to inspire; you want your audiences to take action after they are inspired.

So come back to see what these rules are and how they can make a difference for you.
