Speak Simple: Speak Simple - Stop Presenting, Start Interpreting to Speak Simple - The Art of Simplifying Technical Presentations
Losing Jobs in the Presentation Round? Not Connecting to Your Audience? Don’t Know How to Build a Great Presentation? Technical professionals struggle to speak to their audience’s level. In formal presentations, sales meetings, or day-to-day communications, technical professionals must simplify their language to be understood and put clients at ease. The national parks and zoos have used interpretation to “translate” the complicated so audiences understand and relate to the subject for decades. Erica brings her years of interpretation experience to the corporate arena and prepares professionals to engage and relate to their audience. The book discusses the problems with most business presentations, how to develop a great presentation, simplifying your message with her interpretation method, and delivering that message.

14 books4 followersErica Olson was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and, after various moves around Montana and Idaho, grew up in Plains, Montana, population 1,050. As a child, she loved to write stories about talking animals (usually horses or wolves).
In 2003, Erica left for Philadelphia to attend the University of Pennsylvania. She spent a year abroad at Oxford University in England, where she imagined that she walked in the steps of great people and that she would achieve greatness, too.

Erica graduated from Penn in 2007 with a major in European history and a minor in philosophy. In 2008, she left for graduate school in St. Andrews, Scotland, now studying Classics (ancient Greek and Roman history, literature, and language). She wanted to study the past in order to create and develop her own ideas. Next, she studied for and received a second Master's degree, in English literature, from Washington State University, having wanted to return to her rural Western roots. She wrote a thesis about how contemporary literature might explore positive ideals of human striving.
