Tools for You

OK, so these tools won't help you to put a bicycle together, but they might help you understand yourself better and boost your confidence before your next presentation.

Self-Assessment

This quick self-assessment will give you an idea of what you see as your best strengths as a presenter and the areas where you could improve your speaking skills. Open this .pdf file, print it and fill it out. I'd love to hear what you discover.

Encouragement Cards

If you need a quick boost of confidence, pull this little encouragement card from your wallet and read it just before you get up to speak. There are eight copies of the card on this sheet. Print it out, cut them apart and share them with friends or co-workers who also make presentations. Why not laminate them? (The cards, that is--not your friends and co-workers!)
