As Microsoft's GM Controller, Finance Operations, Taylor Hawes receives high marks delivering highly successful presentations to external audiences at the firm's Executive Briefing Center.

Speaking internally to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), however, he felt his presentations needed to be shorter, with less detail.

A naturally engaging person, Hawes makes strong personal contact with listeners. We coached him to employ Decker's methodology to organize a different kind of presentation — for a specific audience that needed to hear the essence of his analysis immediately supported by a higher level of detail.

Decker coached him to quickly organize a clear, concise presentation focused on the needs of the CFO. Developing his analyses from a mass of number laden financial reports, he also learned how to support his message with fewer, less detailed PowerPoint slides.

"Your course completely changed my approach to presentations," Hawes said after his next talk.

"I recently gave a quarterly review to the CFO, and he told me I was a completely different presenter. I immediately captured his attention with a clear, concise, message that focused only on what he needed to hear. Instead of a half hour, I finished my review in a few minutes, with a minimum of slides to support my analysis."
