Public Speaking

Polly Platt, author and consultant, is an experienced and gifted speaker and seminar leader, known for stimulating and entertaining her audiences... at the same time, almost without seeming to, instructing them in new vistas and motivating them to collaborate more effectively: to aim higher and to develop strategies that are more profitable and noted for their vision.

Polly speaks on these subjects:

• cultures and conflicts: working effectively in a different culture
• taboos and advertising techniques in different cultures
• heroes, courtesies and etiquette across cultural boundaries
• the reasons for positive or negative results from mergers and acquisitions
• creating synergy in multinational teams
• your own national "mental programming" and the mental programming of the foreigners in your company

"Polly Platt's presentation was outstanding. She cracked the equivalent of a cultural Rosetta Stone with her work. France is certainly a different society, almost the way Asian cultures are different. Polly Platt was an inspired choice to speak at our sales meeting."
--Mike Fies, director of sales, Asia, Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, after a talk for the worldwide sales personnel of Dassault Falcon Jets in Duck Key, Florida.

"Your speech was highly informative as well as entertaining and inspiring. You received top marks from the delegates."
-- Karen McLellan, marketing manager, EVCA symposium, after a meeting of 352 European Venture Capital Associates in Barcelona
