Last week on The Public Speaker blog, I mentioned a template that I use for board meetings.  In the comments of the blog post, one of the listeners asked that I post the template. That image above is the template.  It’s just a quick way to conceptualize how concise a board meeting presentation needs to be.  It’s a tool I use with executives who have asked me to help coach them in preparation for board presentations.

I didn’t originally include it because, honestly, it’s not much.  It’s just a tool that I use with my clients to create the core message, to create the three to four supporting key ideas, and the support for those ideas. I then use the tool to practice the presentation and practice drilling the client with questions.  Again, I’m not sure how useful the tool is without the coaching, but I don’t mind posting it.
