Below are my top 6 reminders to help you feel more confident going into your next presentation.
1. Mindset. When we focus on how we’re helping our audience, we start feeling confident and excited about our presentation.
2. Non-Verbal Communication. The more we use non-verbal communication to engage our audience & reinforce our message, the more our audience will absorb what we’re saying.
3. Conversational Delivery. Presentations are not solo performances – they’re authentic conversations between the speaker and the audience.
4. Simplicity. If you confuse people, you lose people.
5. Relevance. If your message isn’t helpful or interesting to your audience, they have no reason to listen.
6. Answering Questions. People will remember how you answered more than what you answered, which means, stay calm and always appreciate the question.
