      <image:title>The Basics - CREDIBILITY AND TRUST</image:title>
      <image:caption>You may have the greatest company and a stellar product, but if the audience does not believe and trust you, you will not get them to take action. As the presenter, you need to connect and interact with the audience. Like it or not, you are an indispensable part of your presentation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Problem - NO FORMAL TRAINING</image:title>
      <image:caption>Most executives receive no formal training on how to prepare and present an effective presentation. Due to a lack of training many executives struggle with presentations and few presentations achieve their desired outcome.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Problem - ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many companies take an "off the rack" approach to presentations by sharing the same presentation among multiple executives and attempting to use one presentation for many different occasions. A successful presentation should fit the presenter like a finely tailored suit and needs to be customized for each audience and circumstance.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Problem - Throw A Few Slides Together</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many executives wait until the night before a presentation and attempt to "throw a few slides together." Even the most skilled presenters prepare well in advance of a presentation leaving adequate time for revisions and rehearsals.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Problem - Millions of Dollars At Stake</image:title>
      <image:caption>Presentations are the lifeline of your company with millions of dollars depending on the outcome. It makes no sense for a company to invest enormous resources developing products and services and little time, effort, or preparation presenting the results.</image:caption>
