  1. Have a plan

    HÁ 3 DIAS

    Have a plan

    We're closing out 2024 reflecting on the purpose of having a plan. Most people fail without a plan. When it comes to communication, we don't want to fail. We want our messages to be clear, informative, and helpful. If we wing it, these things are harder to accomplish. We'll discuss preparation with the following: Knowing your audience (a favorite of ours)Understanding how to show up as a listenerKnowing the message you need to deliver within an appropriate time frameMaking adjustments when necessary (you might go over or under) Having a purposeful close Know the audience. Know what you need to share. Know how to end.

  3. 3 Steps for Effective Visual Presentations

    18 DE SET.

    3 Steps for Effective Visual Presentations

    We spent the last two episodes honing our Executive Presence skills. In this episode, we're focusing on the actual visual presentation. In our opinion, there are 3 steps you can implement to be successful: Plan: Before you open up PPT, figure out who you're speaking to, what they need to know, what you're hoping to accomplish with them, and storyboard those details out. Build: Create your presentation in PPT (or something similar). Use a template that's been successful before to avoid creating more work for yourself. Consider colors, design, animation, data, graphics, text size, etc. Make it easy for you and your audience to see and consume the slide. Practice: Put your deck in slide show mode and actually go through it. Say it out loud. Make sure your design elements complement the story you need to share. Make sure everything shows up in the order you want. A dry run is always a good idea. The keys to success aren't hard. But we can't skip or leave out steps when we want to perform well.

    Let's get physical - Executive Presence

    This month we're honing in on the physical executive presence skills. We break them up into three categories: Eyes - Where are you looking and speaking? Hands - What are they doing or not doing? Posture - How are you standing, sitting, and/or moving? We read body language in other people all the time, but are you aware of what your body language is saying to your listeners? These three areas impact how our audience perceives our message. We'll discuss recommendations for what to do with all three areas, why we suggest the tips we do and some ways to start making these small changes today.
