"It was lovely listening to your talk yesterday. It was the best talk I've ever been to. Loved the content, pacing, delivery, structure.
Your message was very memorable (imparting that much information can leave listeners forgetting what was said) and you managed the balance between substance, detail and memorability well.
I particularly liked:
- That your angle, style and approach was what Networking MEANS TO YOU (hence it was unique, individual).
- That you described contrast and boundaries eg. difference between Network and Friends.
- Hilarious story of the man who stood by the front door and handed out cards.
- That it's ultimately what someone's willing to do for you.
- The quick "breakout" tasks - I actually learnt stuff from my group's feedback to my own challenge!
- Explained what makes the subject special, different.
You said you were meeting with someone next week to take the presentation up a notch. In my opinion it's already broadcast quality. I wouldn't change anything to structure or content. And I think you've got something there with your personal attitude and approach.
But there was also oodles of substance and examples in what you said too.
If you're wondering what motivates me to take the time to write this - I've been to so many bad presentations that I had to make sure you know that yours was brilliant."
