A
My
name
is
Doug
Jefferies
and
I
want
to
welcome
you
to
the
Reader's
Digest
version
of
enhancing
your
presentation
skills
and
also
to
warn
you
that
after
today,
you're
never
going
to
be
able
to
look
at
another
presenter
or
be
able
to
sit
through
another
presentation
in
quite
the
same
way.
Some
of
you
might
be
familiar
with
this
list.
This
actually
comes
from
the
Book
of
Lists
1977,
but
when
asked
when
humans
are
asked,
what
is
their
what's
the
thing
they're
most
afraid
of
since
they've,
been
asking
this
question.
A
Actually
speaking
before,
a
group
becomes
always
filters
to
the
top.
It
is
humans,
number
one
fear
and
there's
good
reasons
for
that.
But
it's
very
interesting
when
you
look
at
some
of
these
other
fears
here,
you
look
at
speaking
before
a
group.
41%
of
all
people
say
it's
their
number,
one
fear
and
you
come
down
insects
and
money,
and
then
you
get
down
to
death
at
19
percent.
Soon,
Seinfeld
actually
said
of
this
list.
It
suggested
at
a
funeral.
A
A
Nobody
listens
to
anything
unless
all
their
basic
needs
are
taken
care
of,
and
you
know
this
to
be
true
right
sitting
the
audience
if
you're
cold,
if
you're
hot
you're
thinking
about
that.
If
the
program's
been
going
on
too
long
and
you're
hungry
or
you're,
thirsty
you're.
Thinking
about
that,
if
your
bladders
full
that's
number
one
priority
number
one
priorities:
when
is
this
going
to
be
over,
so
I
can
hit
the
restroom
correct
and
that's
what
happens
so
anything
you
do
to
make
an
audience
feel
uncomfortable
gets
them.
A
Thinking
about
something
other
than
your
program,
you,
the
speaker,
and
every
individual
in
the
audience,
have
to
be
on
the
same
page
on
the
same
wavelength,
every
step
of
the
way
you
can't
give
them
any
reason
to
be
thinking
of
things
other
than
your
message.
Unfortunately,
most
of
the
behaviors
and
speakers
engage
in
send
audience
members
off
on
what
we
call
journeys
of
self-discovery.
A
A
Yes,
if
we
want
to
know
if
somebody's
telling
the
truth,
we
ask
them
to
look
us
in
the
eye.
You
know:
did
you
type
Pat?
Did
you
take
that
last
cookie
from
the
cookie
jar?
Look
them
in
the
eye.
Tell
me:
did
you
take
that
last
cookie,
we
expect
people
to
look
us
in
the
eye.
We
associate
eye
contact
with
telling
the
truth,
with
the
possible
exception
of
presidents
of
the
United
States,
it's
very
difficult
for
humans.
Just
look
so
in
the
eye.
I
did
not
and
lie
lie.
A
We
don't
do
it
very
well
in
order
to
get
your
audience
to
really
take
in
what
you
have
to
say.
You
kind
of
learn
to
stop
talking,
stop
talking
long
enough
for
them
to
ingest
that
last
thing,
you
said,
get
a
picture
of
it.
Try
to
put
it
into
a
context
that
they
know
before.
Moving
on
to
the
next
thing,
you're
going
to
say,
the
pause
is
absolutely
the
most
important
thing
you
can
do,
one
of
those
common
things
you
see.
A
A
But
the
point
is
hands
in
your
pockets
are
not
a
great
thing.
First
of
all,
if
you
notice
this,
if
I
were
to
shake
my
pockets
notice
that
you
don't
hear
anything
often
when
somebody's
shaking
the
pock
the
audience
to
go
ahead,
sounds
like
a
couple
quarters
dime,
then
you've
got
about
85
cents
in
there.
I
think
what
do
you
think?
So
if
I
were
to
shake
mine,
you
wouldn't
hear
anything
because,
as
a
professional,
what
I
do
is
I
empty.
A
My
pockets
before
speaking
again
problem
is
that
you
need
to
have
as
much
air
under
your
wings
as
possible.
So
you
try
to
talk
about
getting
sales
up.
Getting
our
costs
down,
bring
the
whole
company
bring
them
all
together.
Yeah
you
limit
the
impact
of
what
you
can
say.
Then
you
have
your
hands
in
your
pockets.
Bill
Clinton
used
to
speak
like
this
all
the
time
he
was
governor.
All
time
we
ran
for
office.
He
would
speak
like
this
and
as
effective
as
he
was.
This
was
a
problem.
A
A
Monica
Lewinsky
podiums
go
back
to
an
era
back
when
people
were
considered
orators
and
they
were
separated
from
the
audience
and
that's
what
a
podium
does
think
about
this.
This
is
my
little
castle.
Isn't
it
this
is.
This
is
this?
Is
mine
I've
got
this
this
turret
here,
where
I
can
fire
off
stuff
at
y'all,
but
I'm
protected?
You
know
if
you're
going
to
hit
me
I've
got
this.
The
name
of
the
second
slide
is:
let's
talk
a
bit
about
the
history
of
our
firm,
we're
very
proud
about
our
history.
A
It
started
back
in
1920
these
two
guys,
Harry
and
Bill
came
together.
They
had
a
great
idea,
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
talking
and
what
happens
is
for
the
first
15
minutes
of
a
presentation.
We
talk
about.
Oh
that's
right.
First,
we
start
out
because
we're
working
with
an
old
adage
tell
them
how
you're
going
to
bore
them.
Borum
and
tell
my
boredom
right.
That's
see
agenda
slide.
A
Then
we
get
into
the
history,
the
history
of
our
company,
because
I
have
to
tell
you
all
about
our
company,
and
you
understand
that
that
well
you're
very
proud
about
your
company.
You
might
even
be
proud
about
the
fact
that
you're
number
one
in
your
area
we're
the
number
one
company
out
there.
In
fact,
we
have
so
many
we
are
number
one,
meaning
that
if
you
go
with
us
as
a
customer
you're
going
to
be
much
less
to
us
than
you
would
to
any
one
of
our
competitors.
A
Ok,
because
we're
the
biggest
one
out
there
last
year,
our
profits.
We
saw
a
profits
increase
by
25
percent.
We
took
everybody
else's
money
this
year,
we're
after
yours,
you
want
to
end
it
and
if
you
can
tie
it
back
to
the
beginning,
who
here
is
going
to
go
out
today
and
not
look
at
a
presenter
in
the
same
way
again?
