Unfortunately, I won't be present at the next meeting, but I think this would be an excellent topic. I've been to too many technical presentations where the content was brilliant, but the message was completely lost because of poor delivery. Good presentation skills are a key ingredient in professional (and personal) success. Brian is an effective communicator and experienced presenter. I, for one, would love to hear some of his insights on delivering an effective presentation. -Jeff -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
