Last Friday (1/19/01), I had the privilege to present the Commercial Services
presentation at the Analyst Orientation. I thought I would share some observations that might be helpful for the next Orientation session. Andy Fastow preceeded me and Beth Perlman succeeded me. Although Andy had a slide presentation, he chose not to use it. Rather he directed his comments to Enron's pending earnings release, the growth and his perspective of the opportunities for Analysts within Enron. It was very casual, and very informative and effective. Beth Perlman noted that her presentation was much more casual and that the Commercial Services presentation really upstaged her. She spoke from notes. My original presentation plan was to cover each area with 2 or 3 speaking points, relying on the fact that hand-outs were provided to the Analysts. However, the Orientation Program decided not to provide copies of the presentation, unless requested. Consequently, pieces of the presentation was really not covered as I didn't want to just read to them! I recommend a review of the presentation to reduce the number of slides. Since animation is used, there are can be several key strokes to display the complete slide. This seemed to break up the presentation also. Bottom-line: The presentation fills the 15 minute allotment of time, and if presented in full, limits talking points that help keep the audience interest. I hope this is helpful for the next presentation. If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to ask. I always enjoy my involvement with the Analyst program. Have a nice week-end. Brenda x35778
