Engaging Your Audience

1. What would you say is the best way to start a presentation? How quickly do you get into the main topic?

The Greater Impact of Andres, Omelets, and Excellence

Andres Sanchez is the omelet chef at the cafeteria at Home Depot’s Atlanta Store Support Center. I have the great pleasure of watching him in action every time I am in the building. This morning, I was particularly struck by how extraordinary he really is.

Here are a few of Melissa’s suggestions for avoiding tunnel vision.

The Greater Impact of Desmond Tutu

“Forgiveness does not relieve someone of responsibility for what they have done. Forgiveness does not erase accountability. It is not about turning a blind eye or even turning the other cheek. It is not about letting someone off the hook or saying it is okay to do something monstrous. Forgiveness is simply about understanding that every one of us is both inherently good and inherently flawed.” ~Desmond Tutu

The Greater Impact of Your Physical Space

There is a lot of talk about the ways in which powerful verbal communication can contribute to career success. You’ve probably heard tips like, “Minimize your ‘ums’ and ‘you knows.’” And as women, we’re often told we should stop using “apologetic” language. For example, it’s better to tell your coworker, “I’d like to meet with you later this week,” than it is to say, “I just wanted to see if maybe you had a little time to talk this week.”

The Greater Impact of Owning Your Podium

Whether you’re giving a presentation in front of a large audience, speaking up in a meeting, or simply trying to interact effectively with your manager, learning to own the podium is a critical skill to possess.
