If you’re like many of my clients, you may be comfortable giving presentations. You may have a LOT of experience delivering them. You may even get great feedback after you speak. But is confidence, experience, and “good job, [insert your name here!”] enough to consider your presentation successful?
(You already know that this a trick question, right?)
Confidence, experience, and kudos from your peers is nice. But that’s all it is. NICE.
Because the success of your presentation ultimately depends on the RESULTS that you get from it.
The sad truth is, you can create beautiful presentations with great slides and deliver them smoothly and confidently -- but you won't see ANY results if the audience doesn't connect with you or your message. And when THAT happens, all the time, energy and resources that you've poured into the presentation just becomes a waste of time -- both for you AND for your audience!
But if you can create a message that they DO connect with, then they will be more engaged, find meaning and relevance in what you're saying, and take action in the way that you want them to take action. And YOU will be seen as the speaking superstar who gets results!
Check out this short video with 3 surefire ways to connect with your audience -- every time you speak!

6 年This is a great piece to camera Suzannah. FYI Just a watch out on some of your show reels when you are filmed training a room on how to give a presentation, you sometimes look behind you at the slides.?

6 年Actionable tips that I agree with. The call-to-action is crucial. Without a clear call-to-action, your audience members might compliment you on a 'good' presentation but will be unsure of what to do afterwards, and thus would do nothing.
