Day 1: Perspective
Talking to Yvonne DiVita for a moment regarding Don Pepper's keynote and she made some interesting points regarding the speaking style of men versus women presenters.
Yvonne is an expert in marketing to women and will be speaking on that topic tomorrow. Regarding Don Peppers, she noted what an excellent speaker he was...how well the speech was delivered from a presentation skill perspective.
She said that at many conferences that perhaps women speakers are not as effective as they could be, not because of content but because of delivery. She also posed the question regarding the case studies used by Don Peppers and wondered if women were connecting with his examples. Yvonne will be writing more on these topics on her blog, Lipsticking.
