For the best possible presentation performance under pressure, you don't just need the right mindset. You also need the right HEARTset. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/SE9kBpujBZ

When you are presenting, careful pre-performance calculation is more important than sparkling spontaneity. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/Zc9XEoE1vj

This is probably the most dispiriting thing that a client has ever said to me: "Don't worry Graham. I have massively reduced the slide-count. Now I am only going to show 30. Maybe 35 tops." #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/SE9kBpujBZ

A picture may be worth a thousand words. But this does NOT mean that you should try to cram a thousand words on every slide. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/SE9kBpujBZ

In all your presentations, be far less concerned about information than you are about persuasion. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/Zc9XEoE1vj

The more words you put on a slide, the less compelling it will be. The MOST compelling slides are those with no words at all. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/SE9kBpujBZ

A remarkably effective way of making sure that a comment upsets the maximum number of people is to finish it with the words "just sayin". #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/SE9kBpujBZ

Effective presentation has 2 distinct phases: 1. Deciding what to say 2. Saying it For optimal performance, between 1 and 2 there needs to be a GAP. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/SE9kBpujBZ

When you are preparing and performing a virtual presentation, always assume that your worst enemy will be able to access a recording and show it to the rest of the world. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/SE9kBpujBZ

Editing is the process that changes what you could say into what you SHOULD say. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/Zc9XEoE1vj

Giving someone unasked for feedback on their speech goes down as well as a punch in the stomach. As I said to the ambulance driver. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/Zc9XEoE1vj

If your presentation is perfectly predictable, it is also eminently ignorable. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/Zc9XEoE1vj

Amateurs edit and rehearse their presentations until they are good. Professionals edit and rehearse until they are OUTSTANDING. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/Zc9XEoE1vj

Even the smallest of businesses can use the punchiest of Micro-Messages. I saw this one a sign outside a Bespoke Laundry in Malta: "Instant washing. Instant ironing. Instant sewing. YOU CAN DROP YOUR PANTS HERE!" #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/SE9kBpujBZ

I once saw someone deliver a speech about the need to Listen More And Talk Less. It took them nearly an hour. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/SE9kBpujBZ

If you ask an audience to travel too far, it makes them ferociously determined to stay exactly where they are. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/SE9kBpujBZ

If you are going to rely on memory alone, it's not good enough to just learn your speech. You have to OWN it. #presentationcoach #presentationadvice https://t.co/SE9kBpujBZ
