I am not sure it was a good idea to accept this interview.
While I was driving, ideas where popping in my head. How is it possible to have something to say to fill 25 min? Will I be interesting? You know, that kind of thing.
It took less than 2 minutes to Davender to make me feel comfortable. He does this naturally with his large smile and his sincere interest in what we have to discuss.
We agree on some topics to discuss and we start the interview.
It runs really smooth. Like a conversation in your living room.
Finally, we are so passionate about the discussion that we have to stop it without covering everything because we’re running out of time.
Reading the post of Davender about the interview, I suppose I wasn’t so bad.
I had a great interview this morning with Denis-François Gravel, an authority on how to use presentation technologies to improve your ability to communicate.
“An authority”! Wow!, that’s good for my ego.
You will have the chance to judge if the interview is interesting, it will be broadcast on Monday January 18 at 6:00 P.M. (Eastern time) at “Radio Passion au Profit.“ The interview is in French. It wills also be available in podcast after the broadcast.
Until then, here is a video teaser (the full interview is audio only)

Bravo Denis,
Tes billets sont toujours intéressants à lire. Contente de découvrir que tu es aussi dynamique et convaincant en entrevue que dans tes textes.
Merci du commentaire.
Qui sait? Peut-être que je renouvellerai l’expérience de la vidéo.

Hi. My French isn’t good enough for much of what is said, which is a shame, because what I could understand sounded pretty sensible to me!

Thanks Simon,
It’s essentially some basics tips.
1 – You should have a specific goal well identified BEFORE building your presentation.
2 – Your slides are not the presentation, YOU are.
3 – Eliminate the « Wall of text ».
