In the words of comedian Eddie Izzard, “All that people care about is the look, because there’s figures on this. Seventy percent of what people react to is the look, you know, it’s how you look; and 20 percent is about how you sound; and only 10 percent is what you say.”
Ok, so maybe that’s a little exaggerated for humor’s sake. But the truth is, possessing great presentation skills is nothing to laugh at.
President Barack Obama is admired for his brilliant presentation skills. Similarly, Presidents John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton all demonstrated superior public speaking skills that were instrumental in both their being elected to the Presidency and governing effectively.
As important and noticeable as strong presentation skills are in the world of politics, they are equally critical in business. Being an effective presenter can facilitate one’s being promoted to positions of greater responsibility and influence. They also greatly enhance the degree to which leaders can achieve their goals and objectives.
