Leo Bottary of Hill & Knowlton recently covered a range of topics helpful to junior staffers. He closed the blog series on the topic of client presentations by providing some valuable senior perspective and pointers.

Unfortunately, Leo failed to mention perhaps the biggest and most important trend in presentations today. Differentiation. Or, as a few brilliant practitioners call it, presentation positioning.

Essentially all presentations are the same – person in front of a group, talking, PowerPointing, etc. To truly distinguish yourself in today’s cluttered world of presentations, there is only one option… talking Pirate. Sorry, Leo, it’s a fact.

Regardless of your level – junior staffer, senior staffer or an awkward tweener – you can all benefit from a quick refresher on the lost romance language of Pirate. Look no further, bookmark this post as it will single-handedly teach you the ways of pirate speak. First, let’s start out with a “How to Talk Like a Pirate” orientation video:

If you still need help with your Pirate lingo after watching the video, feel free to use these English-Pirate translators and other helpful Pirate links:

Sadly, this post is a couple days late for Talk Like A Pirate Day, but don’t let that stop you from incorporating Pirate into your presentation today!

Just in case it helps those seasoned Pirate speakers, below is my post in Pirate:
