The Most Important Skill an Educator Possesses is Presentation Skills. 

I was just finishing fellowship when I had to give my first ever presentation as an attending and I was excited...it was on evaluating peripheral neuropathies. I was excited. Not about the topic, but for the opportunity to get in front of a group of learners and teach, make them laugh, and keep them entertained. This was my impression of what a great speaker was. Of course, I had no formal training in public speaking but I sat through enough talks in my life that I knew what I had to do. I read as many articles and textbook chapters that I could. I sat down and created slides filled with bullet-points, trying to cram in as many facts as I could per slide to show everyone just how smart I was. I put lots of pictures on each slide, some grainy, some with watermarks, not all made sense, but there were lots of pictures on omy slides. I put in a lot of transitions, with explosions and fire and smoke, all in the hopes of wowing my audience with my technical prowess.

The day for the presentation came and I got up on stage, parked myself behind the lectern and read every bullet-point off my slide, tried to make jokes, and make sure I told the audience about all the "amazing" transitions they were seeing. I rushed through the busy slide deck and half-way through I saw people checking their social media, looking away, one person had the audacity to take a nap in the second row. How could this be? I did everything I saw lecturers do before me...why was this presentation not amazing.

After that miserable presentation, I was saddened. I wanted to be a master educator so bad but this way of presenting was clearly not the way. So I started to watch and analyze another non-medical speaker to see what made them great. I watched Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Barak Obama, Steve Jobs, Maya Angelou, and others. swhen I was tried to gather as many facts as I could to . I read If you've ever had to give a presentation tDo you Hi.
