Distinction Quarterly Newsletter - June
2009 |
One lesson we've learned as we travel around the
world, the things presenters struggle with in Chicago,
Boston and Portland are pretty much the same things
their counterparts in Toronto, Brussels and Dubai
face. No matter where you live - we all share some
common ground when it comes to the art
of presenting.
We've been working behind the scenes to provide
more resources for you and your teams - ones
that will help you and your important messages
stand out from the
crowd. | |

Listen to a
podcast to prepare for your big
presentation
 Steven
Covey called it, "taking time to sharpen
the saw". We really want to hone our
skills, and we really know it could pay some huge
personal dividends...BUT, we simply don't think we
have the time.

A Note from
Jim...
 One
thing you should know about me... I love to sail
and several times a year I charter & skipper a
42ft sailboat off the coast of Washington State.
There are a few big reasons
I haven't owned a boat for 20 years - they're
expensive, tedious to maintain and would take
a lot of my focus when I have other things to do!
This is precisely the reason
hundreds of clients seek out Distinction every
year. Maintaining a department of specialist
in presentation messaging & design or having a
seasoned delivery skills coach always handy is not
something you probably think about all the time -
nor should you. But when you need those
critical resources, you want seasoned and
time-tested ones. Let Distinction help
you make the most out of every important
presentation moment in 2009!
Wishing
you calmer seas in 2009! Jim
Endicott, President, Distinction
