The prof speaks – and it’s not 7% effective

I’ve posted (and perhaps even ranted!) about the 7% myth in the past. Now, at last, the man who did the original (mis-)quoted research speaks out. He did an interview for BBC Radio 4 recently. I don’t know how long the recording will stay live, so get it while you can. You can listen to it here.

In short – your presentation isn’t 93% the way you say things with only 7% what you say.

Simon is one of the UK's most highly regarded presentation skills trainers and professional speakers in the fields of presenting, confidence and emotional resilience.

  1. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

  2. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative AND entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head about the so-called 7% stuff. The problem is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
