Yankee catcher Yogi Berra coined a sage bit of public speaking

Want to Give a Great Presentation? Imagine a Bridge with
a Weight Limit. |
|
|
If you go
to Google and search “Bridges with Weight Limits” you’ll
find that dozens of bridges collapse every year when
truckers ignore those signs that say “Weight Limit 10
Tons.” The simple fact is that you just can’t drive a 20
ton rig over a 10 ton bridge and expect good things to
happen.
What does
this have to do with presenting? |

When Henry
Ford introduced the Model T, the joke was that you could have
your car any color you wanted “Just so long as you want
black.” Unfortunately, most public speaking training is the
same.
Most
public speaking training takes place in workshops. But
Speechworks is changing that model with Communication
Situation Coaching. |
