[Fredslist] Great Presentation by 3 Gothamites

[BAdolf1006 at aol.com]

Susan Sommers, Diane DiResta and Mike Landrum were wonderful as the panel  
for the HRNY program "Playing the Part:: The Critical Role of Dress, Dialogue  
and Demeanor in Business Success." The program was held at the Yale Club today. 
 We had a sell out crowd of more than 60 attendees and had to turn people 
away  because we couldn't accommodate them all. The audience was HR  
professionals. 
 
Attendees had high praise for the panelists, and the panelists  themselves 
said they learned from one another. As moderator, I was  able to gauge the 
audience's reactions; people were mesmerized. --  when not laughing at Mike's witty 
comments. 
 
Some tips were: 
 
Lack of preparation is the single thing people do that undermines a formal  
presentation (Diane). 
 
The most important thing to do as an interviewer is listen. (Mike)
 
Business casual is more dressed up than many people think. (Susan). 
 
I personally want to thank Susan, Mike and Diane for sharing your insights  
and knowledge with my association. One attendee told me it was one of the most  
informative programs she has been to in a long time.
