KLT - Teach The Geek

Stampede Digital Systems and the Know Like Trust podcast presents: Neil Thompson: Teach The Geek Picture yourself in the following situation.  You have spent years studying and learning a subject and are working on projects in your chosen field of study.  You are asked to give a presentation on it. After preparing yourself and materials you stand to before peers, before your leaders and others.  They are all gathered to hear what you have to say.  With a deep breath, you start your presentation. You expected that they would be interested in what you had to say.  You expected that they would be responding in any way except for how they were actually responding--with glazed yes, playing games on phones, with silent endurance until you were done.  You ask yourself, what is going on? Introducing Neil Thompson: He is an engineer, author, and founder of Teach the Geek. For several years, he worked as a product development engineer in the medical device industry. He had to give monthly presentations as part of his job. After one too many failed presentations, he knew he had to improve. He took everything he learned in becoming better as a public speaker and created a course, Teach the Geek to Speak. He now helps engineers and scientists like himself turn their technical expertise into effective presentations. Listen to his story and just like us, here at Stampede, you will come to know, like, and trust him.
