Minna Taylor, a former actor and founder, helps individuals communicate confidently in high-stakes situations. She emphasizes that many founders focus too much on perfection in their presentations, neglecting the importance of engaging delivery. After nearly two decades working with thousands of individuals, Taylor has observed that too much time is spent on planning and scripting, leading to communication that feels rehearsed and robotic. Instead, she advocates for being real and relatable to capture the audience's attention and convey impactful messages, as demonstrated by contrasting examples from her experiences in NYC.
Each person starts in the space of logic and stays there. They forget that at the end of the process, they actually need to open their mouth and say things out loud in a way that makes people pay attention.
Nearly every single person I've worked with starts the same way. They spend hours designing their deck, reviewing the numbers, and scripting their presentation word for word, leaving no room for deviation.
