Dave Yewman

Dave Yewman the co-author of “Weekend Language: Presenting with More Stories and Less PowerPoint” joins Enterprise Radio. Dave is a strategic communications expert with more than 15 years of experience.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dave Yewman discuss the following:

  • What’s the difference between “weekend” language and how we communicate during the rest of the week?
  • You state in the book that audiences typically don’t remember anything from PowerPoint presentations but they do remember stories.  Why is that and how we can incorporate more stories into whatever type of presentation we’re delivering whether it’s a speech or sales pitch?
  • In Weekend Language you talk about organizing your narrative when you give a presentation.  What are some of the simple steps for getting your story in order?
  • What are some tips to keep in mind when you’re speaking to a group or even just one-on-one?  How can we better use our voices. bodies, or visuals?
  • You dedicate your final chapter in the book on preparation.  Why is it so critical and how can we get better prepared to deliver a presentation.

Duration: 19:40

A friend of Dave’s 11-year-old son Aaron asked, “What does your Dad do?” Aaron thought for a minute, then said, “He teaches people how not to say ‘um.’” That’s a pretty good elevator speech for a presentation coach. Dave likes to think there’s a bit more to presentation coaching than that — but it’s a great place to start. In the past 10+ years Dave’s coached CEOs, professional athletes, tech startup founders, engineers, creative designers and pretty much everyone in between.
