The 3M 9100 overhead projector is easily portable and ready to go once you remove it from the box--there is nothing to be assembled. The post assembly that holds the projection head aloft is hinged against the body of the unit, and a loosening turn of a knob swings it into place.

The body is well designed and made of a sufficiently durable grade and weight of plastic to make this model a good choice for heavy usage. Simple to use, one switch turns the projector on and off, and a separate control panel allows you to change the lamp to high or low intensity. The lamp bulb is easily changed, and the power cord can be neatly wrapped around twin brackets at the bottom front.

Once the post with the projection head at its top is retracted and secured, a carrying handle on one side of the body affords sound and stable portability. The instruction manual (divided into English, French, and Spanish sections) is simple and straightforward. It is primarily useful for its easy troubleshooting should any problems arise, such things as a faulty bulb or projecting onto a screen that is not perpendicular to the projected image. This 3M model is ideal for classrooms, business meetings, and large presentations of any sort.

Ever thought "I don't want to be a public speaker and I'm never going to be a public speaker!" Many people firmly believe that public speaking is something other people do.

Great presentations can take hours of preparation. If you make regular presentations to clients it mightn't take so long. However, I believe that to present at your best, you must prepare your material and your self. Here are some useful tips.

This article gives advice on the most important aspect of your speech - retaining the audience's interest.

I say 'might' because even then, part of your teaching role is inspire your students to do something with your information.

"All the world's a stage, and we're all terribly unrehearsed". Oscar Wilde, with thanks to William Shakespeare. The brilliant Irish playwright and poet, Oscar Wilde, was referring to the sense that we're always performing on life's stage. As I emphasise throughout my Public Speaking Success e-Program, the more you prepare, the more confident you'll feel. Then there's 'impromptu' which means - without rehearsal, ad lib, unprepared.
