the manager imitates; the leader innovates,…. the manager performs tasks right; the leader executes the right tasks.

RecommendationsSome food for thought
Know your subject well Use humor Try the STAR approach
S = StartleT = Tell a story A = Ask questionsR = Recite a quote
Speak TO your audience, not AT them Show passion Be eloquent Rehearse as much as time allows There will never be enough time. Work with
whatever time you have
To be a great presenter…
Evolve your own presentation style Assess & meet your audience’s
expectations Don’t dwell on your mistakes, learn
from them Don’t just give presentations, deliver
experiences!
To be a great presenter… continued
"This is not the end...This is not even the beginning of the end...But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning!"
(Churchill,1942)

presenter!
