Why Smart People Give Bad Presentations
It's not you. It's the way you were taught.
No one ever showed you how to:
- Hook an audience in the first 10 seconds (so they actually want to listen)
- Turn a wall of data into a story (that people remember days later)
- Read the room and adjust on the fly (instead of plowing through slides)
- Own a virtual presentation (without feeling like you're talking to yourself)
You weren't trained to present. You were trained to dump information.
And now? You're stuck in a loop:
Overload slides → Lose attention → Rush through → Wonder why nothing lands
Sound familiar?
