Fall in Love with Presenting: Presentation Skills

FALL IN LOVE WITH PRESENTING (#FILWP)

Find your voice.
Be heard, seen and noticed.
Share your message in a way that works.

If your message isn't communicated well it can't be received well.

Even if you have something important or interesting to share your audience can’t ‘get’ it unless you communicate it well. At best, they’ll be disinterested; at worst, bored out of their minds and forget you and your presentation before they even leave the room.

To get ahead in business or in a corporate career you have to be noticed, for the right reasons. One of the best ways to get noticed is to do brilliant presentations and of the things that make great leaders great is their ability to present well.

If you’re like most people, presenting pushes your buttons big time and you:

• get really anxious even when you just think about it
• don't know how to put it all together
• feel put ‘on the spot’, in the spotlight, awkward, insecure, or uncomfortable (or freak out completely!)
• forget your words, get sweaty palms, freeze up, stutter or blush

if you're in the fortunate minority that already enjoy presenting, perhaps you're thinking that it's time to take your skills to the next level.

Either way there are only two areas that you need help with

• the unpleasant or paralysing emotions you feel that prevents you from enjoying it and being more spontaneous and relaxed
• knowing exactly what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and why to do it

The problem is that you cannot just ‘get over’ your fear of public speaking because it resides in a different part of your brain. This part is called the limbic brain, and your limbic brain does not respond to being told to 'calm down' or that 'everything will be OK'.

That’s why forcing yourself to ‘get out there’ to conquer your fear of public speaking is usually a very bad idea:

Firstly, you won’t overcome anything by repeatedly re-traumatising yourself - and your audience!

Secondly, when you get anxious the part of your brain that you need the most to present well, shuts down; now you’re even more likely to freeze up, forget your words and feel terrible afterwards.

• overcome your fear, anxiety and nervousness of public speaking
• exactly what to do to get your message across effectively
• how to put together any presentation in a way that it's easy for you to remember and interesting for your audience
• how to present in a way that’s natural, spontaneous and inspiring
• how to connect with your audience before you even open your mouth and engage them in ways that are easy, fun, and works
• get to feel good about yourself presenting, however inexperienced or nervous you are
• learn how to avoid the biggest mistake most presenters make and be remembered as a speaker, for all the right reasons

You will also be treated with kindness, compassion, patience and skill.

• It's a fun, lively, interactive, relaxed and empowering environment where you get to feel GOOD about yourself
• Get to find out what’s really behind your fear of public speaking (it's likely not what you think), and shift it the only way you can, by releasing it through the limbic brain rather than try to 'cope' with or 'manage' it
