Making Presentations in December?...Ba Humbug!
By Roger Downes, Presentation Consultant, 123PPT.com
December is always a strange time of year. Most companies try to motivate their employees for that final “push”, that final last gasp effort to raise the fourth quarter and overall annual profit margins. They dangle the “bonus” carrots in front of them in an effort to gain that extra momentum. Throw the Christmas parties and tell their employees how happy they are with what they’ve achieved, but what they might even be able to achieve if they improve this and that the following year.
It’s a strange time, because as an employee you feel you’ve reached a point where you deserve that winter break. You deserve some time off, you know whatever you do now won’t effect your bonus a great deal, and your only motivation are the passing minutes that pull you ever closer to your last working day of 2006.
Whilst across the table, it’s a strange time if you are an employer. At some point following the end of December, and most definitely in the weeks that follow there after, an accountant is going to present you with figures that will either make you shine like a angel in front of your board, or prep you like a turkey about to get stuffed.
So what role can presentations play to help you avoid a roasting when the confetti is swept away come January? And how can you show your employer that your efforts in December will pay dividends in January?

If you missed Scott's first part of the tutorial, "How to capture, import, and organize your media elements for browser and online broadcasts", there's no need to fear. Part one can still be viewed for a limited period.
