SPEAK WITH IMPACT WORKSHOP ON 6 DEC 2008
jointly presented by Patrick Chang & Joni Siah

1. Dress to Impress

The audience forms an opinion of you within the first 6 seconds even before you open your mouth. Therefore, dress to impress.

The audience forms an opinion of you within the first 3 minutes after you open your mouth.
Therefore, have an attention-grabbing introduction.

2. Workshop notes

I did not give the audience any notes till after the presentation. Patrick says he's the kind of learner who will feel lost without notes. He suggests preparing notes for the audience with lots of blanks for them to fill in. That way they can follow what you're saying yet not pre-empt what you're going to say. What a brilliant idea! I shall try that for my next workshop.
