I wanted to send a note of thanks for all the knowledge you imparted upon us.
In a short period of time, I learned a key concept to making an effective presentation: instead of considering myself, present from the listener’s point of view; add value to their lives. That calms my nerves from the get go – it’s not about me!

Hi Rob,
This is just a note of thanks for the informal education you provided to me a year or two ago about laying out and delivering effective presentations. I did a presentation last week to a group of individuals who were >55 (average age of roughly 75) and it was such a success! I shared my points at the start, provided stories, changes of inflection and was so comfortable with the content that I didn't need to have bulleted slides. My slide deck consisted of photos that allowed for feeling and emotion vs just the same ol', same ol'.
I had a great time and the audience shared with the event organizer that the talk was easy to follow, informative, and they were excited about having something to take home with them (I had a handout as well). One participant even called me "inspiring".
So, thank you for your help and direction those many years ago!
