When people thank you after your #presentation, consider saying: “I appreciate you saying that. What did you like/notice/appreciate the most?” That will quickly get to the essentials of what they are taking away which is terrific feedback for us! #PresentLikeAPro
In rugby the ball is tossed backwards as the player moves forward. Keep this in mind and get your audience interacting with each other not just with you.
Lester Holt uses a technique where his correspondents send the story back to him by using his name with a question mark after.
Today's #PresentLikeAPro Tip: Always have someone else introduce you with the script you have written for them. Have the script say who you are, a bit about your qualifications, and then something personal that adds a bit of fun. #PresentationSkills#PresentationTips
To #PresentLikeAPro, KEEP IT SIMPLE! Especially when the material is exceedingly complex. Never ‘dumb things down’ but always go for ‘elegant simplicity.’ The goal here is to get to the heart of the matter and to create a memory of its essential elements.

Next time you invite someone to update your team, try interviewing them instead of asking them to present. They will like it better (no formal prep!) and you and your team will be able to ask questions that get to the heart of what is needed. Try it and let me know how it goes!

“There you are!” Ever wondered about the vibe you bring when you enter a room? Your presence has power! Whether it's at work, home, or anywhere else, the energy you carry can truly light up the space. Watch this video to learn more.
Have you ever considered leading your boss? What your boss, maybe every boss, needs is a fellow traveller to notice what they did well, to suggest a next step, to console, and to consider a possible ‘plan B’. They are just like you with all the fears and chaos and worries!
I challenge you to embrace the power of presence. Whether it's a meeting, a conversation, or any moment of connection, bring not just your head, but your heart and all of your energy into it. Truly engage, listen deeply, and fully immerse yourself in the experience.

AWE stands for “And What Else?” Ask that question and guess what…people go deeper. Ask again and deeper they go. I’ve used it to the 5th repetition and have realised it is a terrific opener that gets to what is ‘really’ important. Learn more here: https://t.co/OLCY1YiqMu
