Unfortunately, the idea that presentations should be linear and based on a single slide show is thoroughly engrained in most presenters' brains. Many are unlikely to change anytime soon.

For presenters to see the light, so to speak, it's important they observe Relational Presentation in action. Until then, flexible delivery is too conceptual for most to grasp. Send them to the demonstrations section of this Web site or build your own network and become skilled in demonstrating relational delivery techniques yourself. Then use these skills to produce results. Others will notice and want what you have.

If you don’t have support for learning relational concepts yourself (by receiving training, for example), talk about the ideas with co-workers and find individuals who share your perspectives. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.

If possible, bring an Aspire representative into your company to demonstrate the techniques in a live setting. Such events can be customized to incorporate your company's actual presentation materials.
