Episode 170: Great Speakers Aren't Born

Published: July 16, 2009, 11:30 a.m.

This week The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story introduces, “The Sarbanes-Oxley Act” presented by Mark Perry (about Mark), host of The PMO Podcast™. Recently, I had the pleasure of reading a short book called Great Speakers Aren’t Born, by George Kops. If you are like me, you just marvel when you hear a great presenter give a presentation and you wish that you were born with that gift, the gift of gab as some say. Well, guess what, great speakers aren’t born. And, that is the subject of the book by the same name.

The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo suggests, “Use clear thinking to make effective presentations." Giving a presentation can be a nerve wrecking experience. For many presenters, an effective tip to always use is to ensure that you use clear thinking to make effective presentations.

The PMO Podcast™ Mailbag answers a listener question about how many project managers really use the right-hand graphic visualization part of a Gantt chart.
