Presenting with Impact & Personal Branding
A person can have the greatest
idea in the world.
But if that person can’t convince enough other people it doesn't
matter.
Gregory Berns

Would stamping a logo in the corner of your forehead help
you convince a client/investor of your case?
Have you ever given a presentation so long that by the
end of it the audience has actually forgotten who you were
and what company you are representing?
It is important to keep things as
simple as possible
• When in doubt try and make things as
simple in possible.
• Simple things are remembered better and
can be more engaging
– In the words of Jazz-great Dizzy Gillespie
• “It’s taken me all my life to learn what not to play”
