Ever seen those nature shows where a bunch of lions stalk a baby gazelle and then... head low, they silently make their way through the long grass... then there's the chase... the gazelle running panic stricken, heart racing and though you're rooting for it, you see the lions and you know how it's gonna end.In my experience that's the feeling lots of people go through at the thought of a presentation... being the gazelle not the lions.
And it makes sense. You put a bunch of animals with eyes that face forward in front of a single animal and that single animal feels like lunch.
It's why for many people giving a presentation is one of the scariest things they can do.
I worked in radio for 13 years. I've helped radio hosts and guests bring their personality to their message.
For me, the difference between a presenter who can be themselves and one who's in "presenter mode" is the reason why some presenters keep their audience's attention and some don't.
I'll repeat that... I'm not encouraging you to be someone else, I'm talking about being you. For me, that's the place compelling presentations unfold from.
So how do we make that happen?
Well, I'd be a liar if I said it doesn't take courage. But more than that it takes a willingness to try... small things.... You already know how to be you, that's the biggest part done... now we'll look at how to bring that to a presentation.
It doesn't have to be difficult. For the folk I've worked with it's often a liberating experience. Imagine that... a presentation that leaves you feeling liberated.
