I am doign some coaching and training for executives and managers, on
presentation skills. I thought I'd spruce up some of what I have been doing,
with perhaps some video-clips. (Yes, I've kept the "how do you get permission
to use these in the classroom" tips!)

Any suggestions, ideas? I'm looking, especially, for videos of great
presenters, lousy presenters, mistakes, funnies, fantastic role models...

Hi Andrea,

I taught Presentation Skills for years and would be happy to help (I have
lots of resources).

The best video I've seen and that I've always used to enhance my course is
Walter Cronkite's video on Prresentation Skills.

Hope to see you tonight,

Hi Andrea:

I read your posting and want to pass on some information that you may
find useful in your coaching on presentations skills. I am a "Trainer
of Trainers" and have recently incorporated the "Personal Learning
Insights Profile" into my program and have had great success.

The Profile is a flexible tool that helps
individuals/presenters/facilitators clearly understand different
learning preferences/styles. I integrated the profile just before I go
into the topic on "Presentation Methods". It really strikes the
important point for speakers to use a variety of methods in order to
attrack and respond to the diverse learning preferences of your
audience.

As I think about it, this would be an excellent tool to incorporate into
your coaching process. Perhaps it will add value and client time as
you help them interpret their individualized profile results.

The profile provides a self-directed scoring and interpreting process
that actively engages the presenter in the context of his/her
own personal experiences.

If you'd like to examine the profile, I can send you an evaluation copy
for just $9 (reg $13) plus postage/handling. Just let me know where to
send it and I'll be happy to invoice you directly.

By the way, we have a library of 8 other Profiles (self-assessment
tools) that would be excellent coaching strategies. I'd be happy to
send you more information.

I look forward to contributing to your project success.

Shortly after the Challenger disaster, there was a videotape making the
rounds showing the presentation by the engineer (whose name sounds like
beaujoilais, but is spelled differently, I believe) who warned
Morton-Thiokol about the O-rings. When you watched his presentation, it
was not surprising that no one bought his warning. It's the only case I
know of where a person's presentation skills--or lack thereof--had a
life-and-death impact on a situation.

I used to have the videotape, but I left it with Westinghouse when I
left--and I understand that later all my files were disposed of. I think I
ordered it originally from someone in the Organizational Behavior Teaching
Society, but I can't remember who.
