When you're a leader,
being a good speaker isn't good enough. Your reputation
and the success of your organization depend on your
ability to speak to a variety of audiences confidently
and persuasively.
An oral proposal is a technical presentation
and a job interview. Your team gets one chance
to show the customer how your technical solution
will help them solve their problems and achieve
their goals. And at the same time the customer
wants to know, "What will it be like to work with these
people?"
Technical experts – scientists, engineers, and programmers
– are integrated into every aspect of their
company’s enterprise. And their ability to
present what they know to a variety of audiences
is essential for their company’s success.
Technical presentations don't have to be confusing
and boring.
