Coming to the end of two great back to back cruises in the Caribbean on gorgeous Viking Sea and this email has just popped up from an American guest on the first cruise. Such a pleasure to have marvellous feedback from someone who clearly knows the speaking business well.
Mr. Wright:
Dick Elder is my name. We met on the Viking Sea (am the retired Meteorologist). Anyway just wanted to say again how much we enjoyed your talks and how well your presentation technique was. Before retirement I spent a great deal of time either giving talks and watching talks by others. My greatest pet peeve is sitting in on a talk where a person uses their Power Point presentation as a crutch and just reads their slides. So boring.
What a breath of fresh air your talks were. You used slides but they were just there to enhance your presentation. So well done. In addition your ability to encompass personal experiences/stories and adding humor kept the audience engaged. Great job!
I hope in future cruises, our paths will cross again. If you are ever in the US and your travels take you to Wichita, KS, please let us know and can show you around.
