Go For Overall Impression!

Mark Fulton is the President of Compass Leadership Coaching, specializing in helping family businesses to make the smooth transition from one generation of leadership to the next.

Like most people, Mark "harmonized" his suits with his superficial appearance. His soft brown suits "matched" his light brown hair and fair skin. He thought that dark suits would overwhelm him.

Dressing to match the superficial appearance is a common mistake for both men and women. A mistake, because it causes the face to blend in with the clothing.

Because Mark is also a successful business writer and professional speaker, he has a high profile. Ultimately, he serves as a source of inspiration for his clients and his readers. He is a leader, and leaders need to look authoritative. Darker suits are not only more authoritative, they also provide more contrast with Mark's face. And don't forget: the face must always remain the focal point!

Power Point Presentations


Remember: YOU are the star of the presentation - not your slide show. Follow these tips, and your next meeting will be awesome:
(1) You are the expert, and you need to dress and act like one.

(2) Don't hide in the corner or behind a lectern. Get right in front of your audience, and keep the room well lit so they can see you.

(3) Don't look at the screen, look at your audience as you talk. You can discreetly check out your slides via your laptop screen.

(4) In particular, resist looking at the screen each time you change the slide.

(5) Above all, do not read the text on each slide word- for-word. Keep the text short, and then you can expound. Think of the slide only as a "cheat sheet" that tells you where you are in the presentation!
