“Excellent. What a great presence!”
“Cindy is knowledgeable, approachable, engaging and fun.”
“Cindy is one of the best in her field.”
“Cindy was voted one of the best speakers at a multi-day event.”
“You can’t help but feel engaged and pay attention. Cindy is clearly an outstanding communication professional.”
“The way Cindy took the stage and conveyed her message was mesmerizing.”
Don’t settle for “ho-hum” presentations. Give your people the skill set you expect them to have – and one they need so they can keep innovating with brilliance.
If teams can’t communicate brilliant ideas with clarity, ideas end up on “the drawing room floor” with the sawdust. That halts the engine of economic development you’re working to advance.
The time to rev your engine is now.
