THE CLIENT'S VIEW
by Hazel Smith / William Reed

A good speaker or presenter is someone who takes a brief and does their own research into the industry. Somebody who empathises with the audience and tailors their material accordingly, but at the same time does not swear or take the mickey. Obviously they need to be entertaining, witty and when presenting keep to the script. If they fulfill all these objectives they can be the highlight of the event.
