Let’s be honest: many presentations
are pretty boring. And the main
reason is very simple: speakers
often have excellent knowledge of
their subject but fail to engage

One of the best ways to improve your performance — with
presentations or more generally — is to ask for and get feedback
from your boss and/or colleagues. Yet this is done far too
seldomly, even though the language is not at all difficult, as

THE BIG PICTURE BRITAIN
On with the show medium
P
unch and Judy puppet shows have been
amusing the British since the 17th century.
Together with Mr Punch and his wife, Judy, the
cast often includes a baby, a crocodile and a po-
liceman. Audience involvement is encouraged.
Traditionally, Punch is a bad-tempered char-
acter who beats his wife and baby with a stick.
In recent years, this aspect of the story has
been softened, however. The modern Punch
does not normally beat the baby, although he
may drop it or sit on it.
In this photo, taken in Weymouth, on the
south coast of England, puppeteer Mark Poul-
ton poses with Punch beside his puppet booth.
Poulton gives shows on the beach most days
during the summer. BS
