Now hear this…

James Garner, one of my favorite actors, wrote an article, The Key To Life Is Listening. Mr. Garner explained that the most important part of acting is listening and provided some concrete examples of how this skill contributed to his successful career.    

Over the years, I have emphasized the most important skill in presenting information and selling ideas is the ability to listen. Effective presenters have to be good listeners because they help audiences with the job of gathering and responding to information.

Keeping engaged in the conversation and engaging others are critical skills for presenters…and everyone else who is a part of this world.
