Frippnotized

I have been Frippnotized. I invested my time today at the New England Chapter of NSA in Natick, Mass today. Patricia Fripp taught us "How to take a speech from good to Great". I wish you could have been there to absorb the experience. My head is still spinning from the wealth of information and experience that we shared in the meeting today. Patricia shared techniques, principles with us. Patricia also coached a few speakers. I was impresssed with Patricia's abilities.

We learned about skinny and fat (Phrases and words, that is). We learned the value of your life timeline and the importance of specificity in your speeches.

Also met great people at this event. It was the first time that I attended an event at NSA New England chapter, and I will visit again. We had great table conversations about my favorite topic - Presentation Skills when using PowerPoint.

Here is a new paraphrase to help you follow the Pow'Rful Process "Show an image on your slide show when you cannot describe the object". For example, show a photograph of the Mercedes-Benz badge rather than describe a silver-three pointed star. We instantly recognize the badge, but will take a few moments to visualize the badge if the speaker describes it to the audience.
