Presenting and Speaking

Here are a few things to remember when you are speaking, planning and making a presentation, chairing a meeting or planning and giving a training session:

• 'KISS'
  (Keep It Simple - Stupid!)
  
• 'Five P's!':
  Proper
  Planning
  Prevents
  Poor
  Performance
  
• Have P.R.I.D.E. in your work
  (ie. Personal Responsibility In Daily Efforts)
  
• 'A-B-C'
  (be Accurate, Brief and Clear)
  
• Remember the "Too-B's" and "Not-Too B's"
  (be Brave and Believe, not Boring or Bashful)
  
• "Never ASSUME anything"
  (it makes an ASS out of U (you) and ME!)
