Dont waste people's time

Written on Monday, June 01, 2009 by Siddharth PV

Giving a presentation to people is a privilege.

If people agree to attend a presentation given by you, they are gifting you their time. They are investing their time with the hope that you / your thoughts will add some value to them.

So, when you are presenting to a group, be very mindful of not wasting people's time. Make sure that every person who walks out of the room at the end of the presentation has gained something. Leave them richer.

If you genuinely think that you have no value to add by giving the presentation - accept that. Cancel your presentation. Do not waste people's time.

They will appreciate you for that.
