Making Presentations Happen...!!

It's human and natural to be nervous while presenting to a group, but it can rev up your engines if you can tweak it and utilize it to your advantage. (Positive pressure - they say) There are many books out there to cover this aspect, and i am not writing anything about that here....however, i just wanna summarize what i learnt about Presentation...

What we are internally has a profound, subconscious impact on our audiences (Importance of Character)

Audiences are irresistibly attracted to and impressed by personal power. (than by facts or logic)

Getting that power by giving respect (Fundamental respect has little to do with everyday ‘like’ and ‘dislike’etc)

Importance of feelings or emotions –(the impact of a speaker’s feelings and attitude on audience – a whopping 93% (verbal & vocal))

Your ability to persuade or convince depends very little on what you say and almost entirely on how you say it.

You are the medium. You are most of your message.

Good presenters do not dispense information, they translate it.

Put your fear into gear. Use your nervous energy to make sure you fire on all cylinders.

Visualization - The subconscious doesn’t distinguish truth from untruth. It simply carries out the instructions you give it. (Program your subconscious mind)
