Sales Presentations Training

Somewhere, Somehow dull business presentations got firmly entrenched in our culture. Garr Reynolds has a great post on a new book by Daniel Pink called a Whole New Mind. One of Garr’s observations really jumped out at me:

“Indian physician Madan Kataria points out in Pink’s book that many people think that serious people are the best suited for business, that serious people are more responsible. “[But] that’s not true,” says Kataria. “That’s yesterday’s news. Laughing people are more creative people. They are more productive people.” Somewhere along the line we were sold the idea that a real business presentation must necessarily be dull, devoid of humor and something to be endured not enjoyed.”

We have all been subjected to financial and other business presentations that are completely devoid of humor. Another great reason to start building that humor file and using it regularly in our presentations! Here is the link to A Whole New Mind review.
