Most people would rather fake the flu than deliver a presentation at work.

“Sorry to let you all down, cough, cough. I feel terrible. I think it might be C*vid.”

Yeah, right.

Fear of looking stupid, fear of stumbling over your words, and fear of being laughed at can trip you up.

But like anything else that looks easy when others do it but is terrifying when we have to try it ourselves, presentation skills can be learned.

And you do need to learn.

If you avoid giving presentations and chairing meetings, you’ll risk becoming invisible and damaging your career or business opportunities.

Being an outstanding presenter will get you noticed and increase your professional standing.

A key part of a presentation is how you sound.

Why?

Because your audience may consist of people who:

  • Have difficulty hearing
  • Are blind or partially sighted and are relying on your words to learn
