Finding good role models can fast-track your improvements as a business presenter. Analysing a presentation second-by-second is very intensive work. As a service to you, we at The One Minute Presenter have done this heavy lifting for you with our Speech Analysis reviews.
We cover a range of speakers and presenters – some famous, some obscure but all with a message that they are bringing to a wider world. As we encourage message-based presentations, these critiques are an important tool for you to understand how to present in a short attention span world.
Enjoy the reviews, they are in-depth and longer than our typical online articles. Please feel free to suggest speakers or presenters that you would like us to review.
All the best,
Warwick and The One Minute Presenter Speech Analysis Team
