Had a fantastic session last week leading Presenting with Impact on our of our graduate programs for our client. This session always has huge levels of engagement and leaves the participants with actionable takeaways to enhance their presentation and communication skills. We look at the 6 behaviours of communication, pitch mastery as well as our own professional brand and what that says about us. It was a great session and we could see such huge improvements even within a couple of hours. Always a joy to teach this session, I look forward to the next one! One of the biggest skills for presenting is being adaptable for your audience. Here are some questions to ask yourself: WHO are your audience? (how do you adapt your style for different audiences?) WHAT is the main message you want to share? WHY should they listen to you? (show your credibility) HOW are you going to share/show what you need to get across to them? #communicationskills #presentationskills #training #graduateprogram #softskills #communication #presenting

Our tip of the day to improve your presentation skills is to focus on the audience… Think about what your audience wants to hear and needs to know rather than focusing on what you have to tell them. Tony Robbins sums this up by saying… ”The number one reason people are ineffective speakers is that they’re focused on themselves. If you’re focused on yourself, then you can’t possibly connect with the audience.” #presentationskills #presentationtips

What's The ONLY Thing Your Audience Cares About? 👇👇👇 WIIFM?! What’s In It For ME?! Great presentation hinges on one thing: Engaging your audience. The single best way to do that is to build your presentation around what your audience cares about: Thier own needs, priorities, and problems. (and/or those of their stakeholders.) If your presenting doesn’t somehow address those, you aren’t engaging your audience. And they won’t listen or care. (would you?!) It’s that simple.

I have the privilege of presenting to diverse audiences, and I always look forward to engaging with audience members afterward to learn what resonated with them. When I get the chance to speak with the first few attendees, I spend most of my time listening rather than talking. This helps me understand what they took away from the session and what they're carrying forward. For keynote presentations, I collaborate closely with the event organizers, asking, "What do you want the audience to take away from your entire conference?" and "If I do a good job, what do you want them to take away from my presentation?" Their answers are crucial in shaping my presentation to ensure the audience feels a certain energy and leaves with something meaningful. It's not about me—it's about the audience and their takeaways. Always put your audience at the center of your message and presentation. #PublicSpeaking #KeynoteSpeaker #AudienceEngagement #PresentationSkills
