Short and Concise Speeches

Outstanding speeches are measured on the quality of their content, not the quantity of their content. Too often, speakers forget this important fact and fail to present short and concise messages.

When most people are asked to speak, the first question they ask is how much time is allotted to their topic, and they proceed to develop a presentation to fit the time allotted. The better question to ask is how much time is necessary to present the topic.

Rainmakers should focus on preparing concise presentations. Your clients, colleague and audiences will appreciate your efforts.

Author Scott Berkin shares his thoughts on concise presentation in a recent Forbes.com article entitled, The End of Boring Presentations.
