Help improve my presentation skills

by Greg Niland on April 24, 2006

Last week I was at Pubcon in Boston and presented on the affiliate marketing panel.  Since I am a big believer that there is always room for improvement, I am looking for feedback of what I did POORLY.  I have faith that a cold hearted person was in the audience and would love to share their criticism of me. 

And for the people that complain about the quality of presentations at these conferences you better speak up now or shut up in the future.  If you want good presentations you need to give good feedback so the good things can continue and the bad things get fixed :)

Ok, well, I’ll be brutal – you’re hair? Well, it wasn’t having it’s best day. ;-)

The presentation was excellent. I do wish that you had more podium time – I have a feeling you could have shared 10x the info & resources given the opportunity. Handouts are always great too.

At an event like this, people tend to get “sessioned out” after awhile. Your pace and humor was refreshing – so whatever you do, keep that!

#1 – my hair was incredible as always. i had people coming up to me after the session asking me to email them my presentation because they were so in awe of my awesome hair that they couldn’t pay attention to anything other than my great hair.

#2 Come on, I am looking for things to improve. Lets get nasty people and tell me what I did wrong. :)

Don’t end your presentation with a Yankee’s logo (esp. when you’re in Boston). I was really enjoying your presentation and actually took some notes. Once I saw the Yankee’s plug though, you lost all credibility. j/k :)
