They're on your side

Hi,

When you are sitting in a room watching a speaker about to start giving a presentation, do you think, "I hate this person. I am going to hate their presentation." Or do you look forward hopefully to the presentation, hoping the speaker will be good?

Unless you're a particularly bloody-minded individual, you'll be hoping the speaker is good.

So when you get up to speak remember that. The audience is on your side. They want you to be good. They'll laugh at anything slightly amusing. They want to be entertained. The last thing they want is to be BORED...

They're on your side.

Cheers!

Michael Kiely
