DETAILS DETAILS

Presentations need details. They also need points. Should you explain it all so the point makes sense, or make it first and prove it second?

Dean takes the mystery out of the relationship between points and details, so you can leverage both to their highest advantage.

What’s Your Vibe?

There’s no way around it: When you’re a service professional, your vibe matters. Whether you’re meeting someone new in a networking scenario, or presenting to them in a shortlist interview, or interacting with them for the Nth time during a project, your vibe – How you’re being – can make all the difference in how other people think of you, and ultimately, whether or not they want to work with you.

In his latest post, Pete shares his thoughts about how to learn more about your vibe, and strengthen your ability to steer it.
