Tom Peters "Forget all the conventional 'rules' but one. There is one golden rule: Stick to topics you deeply care about and do not keep your passion buttoned inside your vest. An audiences' biggest turn on is the speakers' obvious enthusiasm. If you are lukewarm about the issue, forget it!"

Persuasion Example One
There have been eleven accidents in the past year at the sharp curve which is two miles north of Cherokee Lake on Route 857. Installation of guard rails, warning signs, and a flashing light will cost approximately $34,000. Even though we have not balanced the budget this year, I feel that we should appropriate money for this project. Thank you.

Persuasion Example Two
On July 18th of this year John Cochran was found dead. The radio of his car was still playing when the paramedics got to his overturned vehicle. John's neck was broken. It was snapped when his car flipped over an embankment. No one here knows John Cochran because he did not live here, but he died in our neighborhood. Most of you do know of the hairpin turn on Route 857 that has been the scene of eleven accidents this year alone and has injured many friends as well as strangers. We need money to put up guardrails, signs, and a flashing light. I know money is tight, but I hope you see fit to find the funds to remedy this situation before the unknown John Cochran becomes one of your loved ones.

Why do they need you? Too Much Text…
When you are presenting to an audience, it is important to be able to review your topic thoroughly while keeping their attention and interest. If you have too much text on the screen, the audience will read the screen and pay no attention to you. If you just read them what is on the screen, why do they need you? Review Your Topic Thoroughly Keep their interest & attention If they read the screen or… If you read them the screen… Why do they need you? Give them time to read and digest

Using PowerPoint Effectively
