Communication skills coach Joey Asher sat in silence, recently, as a lawyer rehearsed a presentation on recent developments in corporate law. The lawyer worked his way through 35 slides, many of which detailed entire paragraphs copied from statute books. "Would you want to listen to this presentation?" Asher later asked the lawyer. "I guess not," the lawyer confessed. That led Asher to posit what he calls The Golden Rule of Presenting: "Present unto others as you would have others present unto you."

Working with a lawyer recently, I sat in silence as he rehearsed a presentation on “Recent Developments in Corporate Law.” He worked his way through 35 slides, many of which detailed entire paragraphs copied from statute books.
It was painful. I’m not sure what inspired me to say what I said. Perhaps I had just had enough. Heck, someone needs to stand up for the listeners of the world.
