A recent client introduced me to a real treasure, literally, by the name of Julian Treasure, who is the most refreshing, original, and accomplished presenter I have seen in a long time. And, I am excited to share him with you. As you watch his ten minute Ted Talk video, see how many best presentation practices you notice and how many you can incorporate into your own presentations and conversations. 
Julian Treasure’s talk, “How Speak So That People Want to Listen” is a must view for all of us who are serious about selling, influencing, persuading, or building relationships with others.
We declared our independence from the British more than 200 years ago, but Treasure is one Brit you may well want to get to know further. Enjoy the video.
Hope you had a Happy July 4th!
