The Ten Points of Optimal Presentation State
- Put your audience first—presenting is persuasion and influence
based on evidence and reliable facts before, during and after the
speech. Rule # 1 be prepared to answer the top of the mind question—What’s
in it for me (WII-FM) to listen to your presentation?
- Create a unique connect—build rapport and create psychologically
comfort environment. Audiences need to know you care. Rule # 2 use
the Make Me Feel Important (MMFI) feedback process.
- Get their attention—focus on their needs and wants not yours
- Manage your FEARS by using nervous energy in positive way—No
Making Stuff up (MSU’s) and negative self-talk. Try proven
relaxation techniques.
- Follow proven structure for developing presentation—opening,
main points and close.
- Use the stickiness approach—be clear, concise and compelling
= Credibility
- Walk the Talk—present evidence based proof, realistic examples
and stories.
- Remember that small things make a big difference—focus on
the he 3V’s ( visual, verbal and vocal )
- Be responsive to Q/A—treat your audience as you would want
to be treated if the positions were reversed
- Practice, practice, practice the right skills—Trust yourself
and have fun.
