Lydia's Top Tips - November 2003
When you're making a presentation, the first few minutes are critical, not only for grabbing the attention of your audience, but also for overcoming any nerves you might have.
Ice-breakers are always an effective way to get things started. Here are a few that you might find useful next time you have to stand up in front of a group of clients or colleagues:
- Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.
- An optimist thinks that this is the best possible world. A pessimist fears that this is true.
- A Zen master once said to me, "Do the opposite of whatever I tell you." So I didn't.
- If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?
- Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?
- Some people believe that keeping a secret means to whisper when they tell it.
- Every time I walk into a singles bar I can hear Mom's wise words: "Don't pick that up, you don't know where it's been."
