LETS TALK BUSINESSAmy Rosvold, Accenture

• As a consultant with Accenture, I make
  presentations to both internal and external
  audiences.
• Internally, my presentations involve updating my
  peers about industry trends and sharing lessons
  learned with different clients at different
  projects. Externally, the range of topics varies
  widely, depending on my current project.
• Never stop working to improve your oral
  presentation skills. Everyone can find something
  to improve upon, and even the best speakers are
  always seeking ways to develop their ability
  further.
