The #1 skill a technical entrepreneur needs to transition from dreaming to reality is the ability to present their ideas clearly and succinctly.

I invite you to join me in a discussion on effective presentation skills.

I read on TheFunded.com a lot of stories that a VC fell asleep during the entrepreneur's presentation. I am here to make sure that does not happen to you.

Let me tell you a quick story.

I had a seminar that I was presenting at Microsoft for their prospects. All of my A/V equipment failed. I was originally scheduled for 2 hours. The audience kept asking me questions 4 hours later. Would you like to be able to keep your audience engaged to such a degree? If so, please join me. :)

This is my Wiki profile

  • Engage the audience
  • Overcome shyness
  • Learn the techniques to effectively work the room
  • Learn where you can practice your public speaking skills without fear
  • Practice and refine your elevator pitch
  • Learn how to stop sounding like a technical geek (I am one!)

Please sign up by editing this page. :)

My contact information is on [my personal brand including LinkedIn profile].

I do have recording equipment with me at the conference. I will record your elevator pitch and a sample of your tech presentation.

Thank you for attending my session a copy of it will be posted here when I process it. Nudge me at my e-mail if necessary. ;-)
