    She’s a knowledgeable presenter, I’m enjoying it.

    Let’s focus on the positive, rather than hiding behind the anonymity of the internet to be petty.

    MrJay4031,
    I disagree with you here that people should not be critical because of the content of the message in this video.
    Solar energy should not have an image of people who aren’t even able of giving a decent presentation.
    As mentioned before, I urge my students to focus on many items before holding a presentation, you can make or break important deals with it.
    Professional image is essential in this.
    It is not as easy as it seems and requires specific skills.
    Regards from Mexico

    23 uhm’s in 2 minutes (from 2:00 to 4:00). That’s 1 uhm per 5.21 sec. If she kept this average, that equates to 661 uhms in the 57 minutes she spoke. I hope she listens to this, as she probably is not aware how often she’s doing it.

    I hate it when people poin the uhms out. I never notice them until they’re pointed out, and then it’s the only thing I hear.

    She’s a sales representitive for a company that is trying to sell a product. This is the phase called “educating your customer”. The distracting manerisms she has lessen the advertising value as you can see by the negative coments.

    All you guys from a week ago before this comment I have 1 thing to say to you. GO UP A ROPE!! At least she is trying to share some valuable information and you choose to throw rocks. Tell you what! DON’T LISTEN TO THE VIDEO. You already think you know it ALL. Me? I’m going to play it over and over and over and over and hope to find another one like it.

    Presentation skills …
    Presentation skills is underestimated in many schools and universities, leading to poor performance later on.
    The first thing I telI people when I train them on presentation skills is to speak slowly.
    Your public needs to digest the information, which requires time.
    Another benifit is that you avoid saying Uhm and/or making other starnge noises all the time.
    I hope the speaker in this video takes my advice constructively; she seemed very nervous and new to giving presentations at the time.
