Meet Your Expert
Nicholas Washienko has helped senior executives prepare for business critical presentations for over thirty years. His client list includes Fortune 500 companies and he has traveled extensively throughout the world consulting to international companies. His approach to presentation consulting is refreshing and very successful. Why? Because he recognizes that the major obstacle to successful presentations lies in the disparate interests of speakers and listeners. On the one hand most speakers treat business presentations as if they were delivering a report in college. They incorporate enormous amounts of information which they transfer to PowerPoint and then end up reading the screens. On the other hand are the listeners who are bombarded by information from all kinds of electronic media and who now get information in quick short bursts. That is to say, their attention span has been greatly reduced in this electronic age. This holds particularly true of senior executives. Nick helps clients recognize this dilemma and provides them a clear, concise, and tested way of avoiding this obstacle to success. Nick holds a PHD and JD from Boston University where he is on the faculty teaching courses in Business Law and Business Communication.

Thank you for this opportunity to learn. Creating a dynamic presentation is a challenge esp when we have data to present.
Again, thank you.
Excellent Lecture on very important topic. Agree with the presentaton tips and would love to learn more.
Dynamic Presentations – This presentation was really helpful. So simple yet so valuable. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
This was a really helpful presentation and very much to the point of the problems speakers need to consider when preparing and delivering their presentations. The presenter was well spoken and knowledgeable on this topic. I also enjoyed the examples.
Since the Q&A period extended beyond the original 1 hour slot, will the complete talk be available for reviewing again after the webinar is completed? I was interrupted with regular duties while listening to this and would love to hear the entire piece again.
Thank you.
– Would it be possible for you to post this as a podcast?
Good Seminar
Dr. Washienko,
Your style of presentations are a manifestation that our world today longs for social relationship with others.
Supposing I am correct, what impact is their in supplying the need for social relationships with presentations?
PRK
Extremely useful! I also would like to be able to listen to the full 90 minutes again, including the extended Q&A session.
Thanks!
I thought the presentation was interesting and thought provoking.
Great webinar. 5-10 seconds to make up our minds about a speaker was an incredible revelation! Excellent illustrations.
I suggest that you start on time and cut way back on the introduction. The intro of teh speaker was way too long and took valuble time away from the speaker. If ACS is sponsoring then we assume the speaker is qualified and we can read his bio if interested.
Very useful information. Simple to understand and to follow.
I would have liked to have been able to view the webinar, but the archive is only viewable on a Windows machine. Why is this? Previous webinars that I have watched were platform agnostic, why is this one different? I’m very disappointed as this was a topic of interest to me.
I missed the presentation and can’t view it because I have a Mac, even though I do have Windows Media Player. Will it ever be available for Mac or the external Windows Media Player?
Dear Bettye: Thank you for your comment. Without knowing your exact system, it is very hard for us to identify the issue. However, we are working to replace the encoding on the recording file so that it can be viewed on wider range of platform and video players. We hope that will make it more universal and will resolve the issue you encountered. The new version will be posted on 8/12/2010. Again, thank you and we hope you can join us again.
Dear Vanessa: Thank you for your feedback. We are looking at the technology and resources needed to make this available as a podcast.
