Read the comments - every meaningful and provided much insight to the topic.<br /><br />If I may comment, I am a Trainer, and I usually tell my audience, the reason why this subject may interest them. i.e that it will provide take-aways that may be relevant to meet their immediate needs, (circumstances) or perhaps in the distant future". Thereafter I allow my presentation to roll out the "authority statement". Then in the middle of the presentation, I release parts of my credentials that are relevant to the subject that I am talking about.<br /><br />I feel giving the audience a "Reason or Need" to listen to the speaker is far more important then being anxious about one's bio or accomplishments. (or even one's list of awards)<br /><br />I feel when you bring awareness to the audience of the Knowledge, Skills or Attitudes that your presentation beholds, then you would have set them to want to listen you.<br /><br />(Given that no Organisation would bring in a speaker without authority or appropriate credentials which can be obtained by various means)<br />My humble sharing.<br /><br />Regina Thomas<br />SingaporeAkashichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07403824401915969723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25912448.post-77789961346589776022011-07-18T14:05:27.566-04:002011-07-18T14:05:27.566-04:00Frank, thanks for your support.

You should speak at a Toastmasters convention sometime.<br /><br />I particularly like "The more prominent the speaker, the shorter the introduction can be."

By the time the speaker's introduction (i.e. his/her bio) has been read to me -- boring, boring, boring -- I've already lost interest. Long bios read as intros strike me as ego trips for the speaker, not as aids to the audience.<br /><br />ChrisChris Witthttp://www.lifeafterpowerpoint.comnoreply@blogger.com
