Presentations

A week or so ago I gave a presentation that I had not had enough time to practice. I got through it OK, but I didn't engage my small and critical audience the way I had pictured in my mind. My mother used to make me practice school presentations two or three times in front of a mirror...that really helped me notice my ticks and annoying expressions. I didn't make time to do that on my last presentation, and it felt weak.

Sticking with one of Brain Bucket's tenets of marketing...let's think about that.

Guy Kawasaki has a recent post that helped me start the thinking part:

Now I just need to figure out the innovative approach to my sales presentations...oh, and then I have to practice enough in front of the mirror so that I can execute it better next time.

Any ideas?
