Make your presentations resonate

Hi,

There’s a truth about giving presentations that most speakers don’t realise:

Your words aren’t just lines on a script.

Every word you utter can resonate with your listeners.

And they have the power to unlock your audience’s emotions and understanding.?

But if you're not completely getting through to them…

You can always change your delivery.

My tip?

Introduce stories.

Here’s an example of how you can masterfully shift gears during your presentation:?

My client—let’s call him Leo—was giving an online presentation to his team.

While explaining the numbers and KPIs…

He noticed his team getting distracted and uninterested.

So, he paused and let the numerical data take a back seat.

Instead, Leo told a story that whisked his team into his journey.?

A story from his childhood…

A memory of luxury…

The beginning of his love for BMW.

It was this narrative that set the stage and drew his team back into his presentation.

After that…

He explained the figures to his team again.

This time, they were genuinely engaged with what he had to say.

The lesson here is profound.?

Numbers and statistics don't always grab your audience’s attention.

Sometimes, the best way to engage them is by using a relatable story.?

This is why Leo switched gears and tapped into his listener’s experiences and aspirations.?

By putting himself in his audience’s shoes and understanding what matters to them…

He was able to create and deliver a presentation that resonated more with them.

Now, as you craft your presentations, consider what truly matters to your audience.?

What are their pain points??

What aspirations keep them awake at night??

Are they burdened by responsibilities that consume their time??

Do they seek solutions that will free them from these burdens??

Your message can become a bridge that’ll answer these questions.

Remember, your ability to weave a narrative that speaks to your audience's heart is a gift.?

It can connect the dots between your audience’s needs and the solutions you present.

Cheers,

Carmen
