This reminds me of an old post by one of my favourite bloggers, Scott Adams. (I can take or leave his cartoons.) I find him to be a very astute observer of human nature. He once went on a public speaking course, and observed that the single most effective tool for improving people's presentation skills was to praise them. Whether they were actually great or awful, telling the speaker that she spoke brilliantly raised self-confidence, which improved the next attempt at a talk.

Maybe that's not such a secret among the presentation-course fraternity?
