This was one of the biggest surprises to me when I made the switch for journalism to marketing nearly a decade ago. I used PowerPoint for the first time. I sweated. I practiced. I sucked. I practiced a lot more.

Now 9+ years later I’m still practicing presentation skills, but it’s something I actually enjoy and a huge part of my role.

Thanks for putting this together. Very accurate.

…sound charmingly off-the-cuff, but it’s a safe bet they’ve also spent considerable time practicing. It’s a very rare journalist who can step into agency-land and impress with their presenting skills, so be prepared to practice. Run your lines, present your slides to yourself, and put in the time to get good at presenting.
