543: Exceptional Presentation Delivery with Tim Pollard (an Encore Presentation of Episode 294)

Today’s guest, you might say, takes what he does very seriously.

Another way to say it might be that he’s a little extreme.

However, no one can deny that he is very good at what he does. That’s why I love talking to him so much.

His name is Tim Pollard and his new book is called Mastering the Moment: Perfecting the Skills and Processes of Exceptional Presentation Delivery.

Tim first appeared on Read to Lead to talk about The Compelling Communicator: Mastering the Art and Science of Exceptional Presentation Design.

I love his approach to delivering presentations (a topic about which I am very passionate). I ask a question about this topic of nearly every guest I interview. Today, it receives our focus.

  • The importance of anticipating the mindset of the room
  • What proper presentation rehearsal should look like and what traps you should try and avoid
  • The three aspects of a speaker’s style that matter most to the audience
  • And lots more!
