I just picked up a book by Carmine Gallo, "The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs" . Nancy Duarte recommended it in her blog.
I love the opening quote: "A person can have the greatest idea in the world -- completely different and novel --- but if that person can't convince enough other people, it doesn't matter" ---Gregory Berns I can relate to that quote.
The older I get the more I realize, ideas "are cheap".
Execution is everything. In order to execute great ideas, we need to be able to effectively communicate them to people. We need to be able to rally our employees and team. We need to get them passionate about what we want to do. We need to communicate our vision to our customers, clients and all stakeholders.
Easy to say, hard to do. The subtitle of the book is "How to be insanely great in front of any audience". That would sure help.
