Yeah for me it all started. when I was a UN. You know when
when I was a UN. You know when you are a university or you
you are a university or you need to work on some projects,
need to work on some projects, you study something and then
you study something and then the professor, maybe asks you
the professor, maybe asks you to to make a presentation in
to to make a presentation in front of your classmates, So it
front of your classmates, So it started with that and as I was
started with that and as I was doing it, I realized that
doing it, I realized that actually I was I was enjoying
actually I was I was enjoying it very much. I love standing
it very much. I love standing up and sharing my ideas in
up and sharing my ideas in front of a group of people, but
front of a group of people, but at the same time I also
at the same time I also realized that most
realized that most presentations suck. I start and
presentations suck. I start and then it’s not just with
then it’s not just with students, then if you think
students, then if you think about the way most people and
about the way most people and companies even business
companies even business professionals entrepreneurs the
professionals entrepreneurs the way they go about preparing
way they go about preparing designing and delivering
designing and delivering presentations. I’m sorry to
presentations. I’m sorry to say, but it’s completely wrong.
say, but it’s completely wrong. It’s ineffective and and so for
It’s ineffective and and so for me that it all started at
me that it all started at university and then it
university and then it continued. I started my own
continued. I started my own company and and that’s what
company and and that’s what we’re doing. Yes and I love
we’re doing. Yes and I love that you bring that up because
that you bring that up because it it’s across the board for
it it’s across the board for anybody who has to create a
anybody who has to create a presentation whether it. Them
presentation whether it. Them standing up in front of an
standing up in front of an audience in person or here
audience in person or here online or they have slides.
online or they have slides. There’s so many pieces to that
There’s so many pieces to that puzzle and it’s really
puzzle and it’s really important for all of us to
important for all of us to remember that we always have
remember that we always have room for opportunities and that
room for opportunities and that we have to have people like you
we have to have people like you come into our lives to be able
come into our lives to be able to help us with that because
to help us with that because what we think might be working.
what we think might be working. might not be especially when it
might not be especially when it comes to. I hate to say it, but
comes to. I hate to say it, but when I see Powerpoints and a.
when I see Powerpoints and a. Text on the powerpoints it just
Text on the powerpoints it just drives me crazy and so I’m glad
drives me crazy and so I’m glad that you bring that up when it
that you bring that up when it comes to the presentation
comes to the presentation styles. No absolutely and
styles. No absolutely and you’re right, you mentioned
you’re right, you mentioned PowerPoint and here is the
PowerPoint and here is the thing every time we think about
thing every time we think about presentation so often we
presentation so often we immediately associated with
immediately associated with PowerPoint, which, of course it
PowerPoint, which, of course it can be an extremely a great
can be an extremely a great tool to amplify your messages,
tool to amplify your messages, but it’s so much more than just
but it’s so much more than just PowerPoint when we think about
PowerPoint when we think about presentation skills if we think
presentation skills if we think that it’s just about
that it’s just about PowerPoint, then we. Missed the
PowerPoint, then we. Missed the point it’s so, for example, if
point it’s so, for example, if you let’s think about it for a
you let’s think about it for a second if you’re if your sales
second if you’re if your sales page fails to make customers
page fails to make customers want to buy from you and I’m
want to buy from you and I’m not talking about you now Ed
not talking about you now Ed but in general, then your
but in general, then your revenues will suffer if your
revenues will suffer if your leadership presentation fails
leadership presentation fails to inspire your team or your
to inspire your team or your employees your partners then
employees your partners then they won’t be motivated to
they won’t be motivated to follow you and lead on your
follow you and lead on your strategy if you. Meeting
strategy if you. Meeting participants will remember
participants will remember nothing even online now. if
nothing even online now. if conference participants again
conference participants again even online if they remember
even online if they remember nothing the return on the
nothing the return on the investment is minimal. So
investment is minimal. So again, it’s so much more than
again, it’s so much more than just PowerPoint and so much
just PowerPoint and so much more than just a presentation.
more than just a presentation. Yes. and I love love that you
Yes. and I love love that you bring that up so when we’re
bring that up so when we’re talking about presentations as
talking about presentations as you mentioned many of us might
you mentioned many of us might be thinking a PowerPoint right
be thinking a PowerPoint right off the bat. How should we
off the bat. How should we start thinking about
start thinking about presentations because this is
presentations because this is important shift? I think for
important shift? I think for everyone, especially because
everyone, especially because we’re. So much online these
we’re. So much online these days as well, Yeah, so there
days as well, Yeah, so there are the way I say is this there
are the way I say is this there are three key things we need to
are three key things we need to consider if we want to improve
consider if we want to improve our ability to present our
our ability to present our ideas in an effective way I
ideas in an effective way I call the message visuals and
call the message visuals and delivery. so these are the
delivery. so these are the three key parts of presenting
three key parts of presenting now What that means is that
now What that means is that first of all not forget
first of all not forget PowerPoint Forget the
PowerPoint Forget the presentation tool message we
presentation tool message we need to be able. To develop a
need to be able. To develop a compelling message, a message
compelling message, a message that is simple for the audience
that is simple for the audience clear interesting engaging and
clear interesting engaging and that’s the most important thing
that’s the most important thing then once that’s solid. then we
then once that’s solid. then we also need to have the ability
also need to have the ability to amplify and reinforce and
to amplify and reinforce and support a message using
support a message using effective visuals and here we
effective visuals and here we can talk about PowerPoint. It’s
can talk about PowerPoint. It’s not the only thing and then
not the only thing and then also add delivery. We have a
also add delivery. We have a great message. We also need to
great message. We also need to have the ability to deliver the
have the ability to deliver the message in a way that’s
message in a way that’s comfortable and convincing as
comfortable and convincing as you say whether or not today,
you say whether or not today, of course, most of the time
of course, most of the time we’re talking about online
we’re talking about online delivery, but it could be a
delivery, but it could be a face to face presentation as
face to face presentation as well. So these are the three
well. So these are the three key things we need to consider
key things we need to consider message visuals and delivery I
message visuals and delivery I love that and what’s really
love that and what’s really stood out for me was the fact
stood out for me was the fact that it. you did what I like to
that it. you did what I like to do with my clients is. A step
do with my clients is. A step back from the technology part
back from the technology part because everyone jumps to the
because everyone jumps to the tech and you know in my case.
tech and you know in my case. what light lights do they need
what light lights do they need what cameras do they need in
what cameras do they need in order to go live All that stuff
order to go live All that stuff can come later what we need to
can come later what we need to work on is the stuff that comes
work on is the stuff that comes before that and same with what
before that and same with what you were just saying it’s
you were just saying it’s forget about PowerPoint and the
forget about PowerPoint and the actual tool think about the
actual tool think about the actual message and then start
actual message and then start to go into that that is really
to go into that that is really really key exactly. I don’t
really key exactly. I don’t know if you know John Cleese,
know if you know John Cleese, an actor here in the UK, he
an actor here in the UK, he says that. that we don’t know
says that. that we don’t know where we get our ideas from but
where we get our ideas from but what we do know is that we
what we do know is that we don’t get them from our laptops
don’t get them from our laptops and I agree with him. 100%.
and I agree with him. 100%. It’s not about the technology
It’s not about the technology of course, I’m not saying that
of course, I’m not saying that the technology is not important
the technology is not important actually today in an online
actually today in an online world, even when it comes to
world, even when it comes to online presenting technology
online presenting technology does make a difference. but
does make a difference. but it’s not the first thing. And I
it’s not the first thing. And I love that quote because it’s so
love that quote because it’s so true really it comes from pen
true really it comes from pen and paper when when when we
and paper when when when we think about it like that’s
think about it like that’s where everything just the
where everything just the creative flow really happens
creative flow really happens and I even for myself being a
and I even for myself being a techie I try to limit
techie I try to limit especially on the weekends my
especially on the weekends my tech because I’m really trying
tech because I’m really trying to pen and paper everything
to pen and paper everything that’s going on in my head.
that’s going on in my head. Yeah, no me too the way you
Yeah, no me too the way you develop a compelling message
develop a compelling message when you need to give a
when you need to give a presentation as you say, pen
presentation as you say, pen and paper flick.
And what about cuz you
And what about cuz you mentioned in the beginning? how
mentioned in the beginning? how you started was you enjoyed
you started was you enjoyed presenting and many II don’t
presenting and many II don’t know if you find this with your
know if you find this with your clients, but I know, at least
clients, but I know, at least when it comes to my clients,
when it comes to my clients, especially when it relates to
especially when it relates to going live on Facebook or any
going live on Facebook or any platform there is that fear
platform there is that fear that public speaking fear and
that public speaking fear and do you see that a lot with your
do you see that a lot with your clients as well and how do you
clients as well and how do you kinda help them push past that?
kinda help them push past that? Yeah we we. All the time and in
Yeah we we. All the time and in a way and now fear is also very
a way and now fear is also very much connected to. having some
much connected to. having some feelings and nerves or anxiety
feelings and nerves or anxiety from a public speaking
from a public speaking perspective and in in one way
perspective and in in one way or another, we all feel the
or another, we all feel the nerves. so it’s not that
nerves. so it’s not that because I’m a presentation
because I’m a presentation coach or because I’ve been
coach or because I’ve been doing this for 15 years that I
doing this for 15 years that I don’t feel the nerves. I’m
don’t feel the nerves. I’m always nervous before
always nervous before presenting and if if somebody
presenting and if if somebody tells you I’m going to give an
tells you I’m going to give an important presentation and I
important presentation and I don’t feel anything II wouldn’t
don’t feel anything II wouldn’t trust. A person I think it was
trust. A person I think it was Mark Twain, who said
Mark Twain, who said Of speakers in the world those
Of speakers in the world those who get none of us and those
who get none of us and those who are liars and again I agree
who are liars and again I agree with him 100% now, of course.
with him 100% now, of course. On the one hand, we need to
On the one hand, we need to make if we want to get better
make if we want to get better at this, we need to make a
at this, we need to make a conscious decision. We need to
conscious decision. We need to say okay, let’s do it. Let’s
say okay, let’s do it. Let’s give it a try. despite the fear
give it a try. despite the fear despite the nerves, so that’s
despite the nerves, so that’s one element it has to be there
one element it has to be there The other thing is that in the
The other thing is that in the end it’s a process and there
end it’s a process and there are some key if you want
are some key if you want success factors for great
success factors for great presentations there there are
presentations there there are methods there are framework
methods there are framework that you can follow and if you
that you can follow and if you follow a certain process, a
follow a certain process, a certain framework then it
certain framework then it becomes much easier to to feel
becomes much easier to to feel comfortable to feel confident
comfortable to feel confident to address those nerve. Or
to address those nerve. Or their level of anxiety in a
their level of anxiety in a much more positive way, yes and
much more positive way, yes and also it goes back to number one
also it goes back to number one from your three keys is message
from your three keys is message because once you know what
because once you know what you’re going to talk about, you
you’re going to talk about, you can feel more confident in how
can feel more confident in how you show up and how you deliver
you show up and how you deliver that information to your
that information to your audience and what you’ve just
audience and what you’ve just said is so important. why
said is so important. why because so often I. hear
because so often I. hear people. That Many people think
people. That Many people think that when you think about
that when you think about confidence in presenting a lot
confidence in presenting a lot of people think that confidence
of people think that confidence comes from either some sort of
comes from either some sort of wishful thinking or inner
wishful thinking or inner attitude, but actually it has
attitude, but actually it has nothing to do with that
nothing to do with that confidence in public speaking
confidence in public speaking or presenting comes from three
or presenting comes from three things knowing your audience as
things knowing your audience as you said and knowing your
you said and knowing your message and being well prepared
message and being well prepared for important. Presentations I
for important. Presentations I would say even slightly over
would say even slightly over prepared. Yeah, so if you know
prepared. Yeah, so if you know your audience if you know your
your audience if you know your message and if you are well
message and if you are well prepared then I can tell you
prepared then I can tell you you will be confident. yes.
you will be confident. yes. it’s all about that preparation
it’s all about that preparation and and that’s what I love
and and that’s what I love about this conversation because
about this conversation because it all happens. There’s a lot
it all happens. There’s a lot of things that happened before.
of things that happened before. during and after a
during and after a presentation, the same thing I
presentation, the same thing I teach my clients is there’s
teach my clients is there’s things that happen before you
things that happen before you go live during your live
go live during your live presentation and then after
presentation and then after your. And so it’s not just
your. And so it’s not just hitting that go live button,
hitting that go live button, just like with speaking, It’s
just like with speaking, It’s not just you speaking, There’s
not just you speaking, There’s all these things that happened
all these things that happened before during and after that
before during and after that play a part in that bigger
play a part in that bigger picture. Yeah, for example, and
picture. Yeah, for example, and one of the things that from a
one of the things that from a presentation perspective in my
presentation perspective in my world, one of the things that
world, one of the things that has to happen before as you say
has to happen before as you say is as presenters we need to try
is as presenters we need to try and understand as much as
and understand as much as possible about the audience.
possible about the audience. And what they need now again,
And what they need now again, one of the very first things
one of the very first things most people do and I’m not
most people do and I’m not talking about students. I’m I’m
talking about students. I’m I’m even talking about established
even talking about established either business owners or
either business owners or experienced professionals.
experienced professionals. Okay, one of the very first
Okay, one of the very first things most people do when they
things most people do when they need to prepare a presentation
need to prepare a presentation is that they either just open
is that they either just open up the presentation tool it
up the presentation tool it could be PowerPoint and put
could be PowerPoint and put together some slides or they
together some slides or they start thinking about the key
start thinking about the key messages what they. Want to
messages what they. Want to communicate, which is
communicate, which is definitely better than just
definitely better than just opening a PowerPoint, but it’s
opening a PowerPoint, but it’s not the very first thing we
not the very first thing we need to do the the very first
need to do the the very first thing. as you say there is
thing. as you say there is something that has to happen
something that has to happen before and in our world, what
before and in our world, what has to happen before is that we
has to happen before is that we need to analyze our audience We
need to analyze our audience We need to understand as much as
need to understand as much as possible about them about their
possible about them about their needs and about the the
needs and about the the presentation context so that we
presentation context so that we are ready to develop a message
are ready to develop a message which is related to them
which is related to them relevant to. And their needs.
relevant to. And their needs. yes, and when it comes to the
yes, and when it comes to the speaking and your clients. have
speaking and your clients. have you noticed a shift in teaching
you noticed a shift in teaching them from the in person stuff
them from the in person stuff to the online world given the
to the online world given the pandemic and and is is there
pandemic and and is is there really a big difference between
really a big difference between the two worlds the in person
the two worlds the in person and online when it comes to
and online when it comes to that? Yeah great question now
that? Yeah great question now if we go back to what we said
if we go back to what we said before that, there are three
before that, there are three key things we need to consider
key things we need to consider message visuals and delivery.
message visuals and delivery. Now I think that. A message
Now I think that. A message perspective and from a visual
perspective and from a visual perspective then there isn’t a
perspective then there isn’t a big difference. between face to
big difference. between face to face presentations and online
face presentations and online presentations. however, from a
presentations. however, from a delivery perspective, there are
delivery perspective, there are some key differences. so, for
some key differences. so, for example, if we think about eye
example, if we think about eye contact this is just to give
contact this is just to give you just to make it practical.
you just to make it practical. just to give you a quick
just to give you a quick example now it doesn’t matter
example now it doesn’t matter whether you give a face-to-face
whether you give a face-to-face presentation or an online
presentation or an online presentation. but the the key
presentation. but the the key principle applies you still
principle applies you still want to make good. Contact with
want to make good. Contact with your organs now the way you
your organs now the way you apply the principle is
apply the principle is different. The way you make
different. The way you make good eye contact in front of an
good eye contact in front of an actual room of people is
actual room of people is different from the way you make
different from the way you make good eye contact online now
good eye contact online now online. You know this better
online. You know this better than me because I’m sure you
than me because I’m sure you teach this kind of things as
teach this kind of things as well. You need to look at the
well. You need to look at the lens of the camera because
lens of the camera because that’s where your audience is
that’s where your audience is so you see the principle is the
so you see the principle is the same making good eye contact
same making good eye contact and I could talk about many
and I could talk about many other elements. it could be
other elements. it could be body language gestures, but
body language gestures, but then the way you apply those
then the way you apply those principles changes if we are
principles changes if we are talking about. An online
talking about. An online presentation, oh, that is so
presentation, oh, that is so good and that’s exactly what I
good and that’s exactly what I teach as well with the the eye
teach as well with the the eye contact when it comes to the
contact when it comes to the lands like some of you if
lands like some of you if you’re watching this video,
you’re watching this video, you’re probably seeing
you’re probably seeing sometimes when you look just
sometimes when you look just slightly down and then I come
slightly down and then I come back and that’s because I want
back and that’s because I want to be able to not only look at
to be able to not only look at my guests but also look at you
my guests but also look at you be there with you versus doing
be there with you versus doing this or this all the time. And
this or this all the time. And that all comes with practice
that all comes with practice and that comes with certain
and that comes with certain equipment but again it’s
equipment but again it’s knowing what’s happening before
knowing what’s happening before it happens being prepared and
it happens being prepared and knowing where you wanna focus
knowing where you wanna focus your eyes and when you’re
your eyes and when you’re talking about you know in
talking about you know in person, I was thinking II was
person, I was thinking II was on stage one time and I just
on stage one time and I just remember looking at the lights
remember looking at the lights because you can’t really see
because you can’t really see the audience in this in this
the audience in this in this area, it was really dark and so
area, it was really dark and so you kinda just look up so that
you kinda just look up so that it looks like you’re looking
it looks like you’re looking out. Audience you know so I
out. Audience you know so I just was remembering that
just was remembering that little little bit when you said
little little bit when you said that yeah, yeah and also again
that yeah, yeah and also again going back to your question.
going back to your question. Perhaps there are a couple of
Perhaps there are a couple of other things that we need to
other things that we need to sure that we need to consider.
sure that we need to consider. one is as we said before
one is as we said before technology now I don’t think at
technology now I don’t think at the technology makes a
the technology makes a difference when it comes to a
difference when it comes to a face to face presentation, but
face to face presentation, but for all of these reasons
for all of these reasons online, it does make a
online, it does make a difference. so if we think
difference. so if we think about things and again II guess
about things and again II guess that’s very much connected to
that’s very much connected to what you do as well. But if you
what you do as well. But if you think about things like light.
think about things like light. And webcam and microphone, and
And webcam and microphone, and all these kind of things that
all these kind of things that can make it. they can have a
can make it. they can have a huge impact on your ability to
huge impact on your ability to deliver your message
deliver your message effectively online. That’s one
effectively online. That’s one thing and perhaps the last
thing and perhaps the last thing the key another key
thing the key another key difference I see between face
difference I see between face to face and online
to face and online presentations is the level of
presentations is the level of interaction that you want to
interaction that you want to have with your audience. now
have with your audience. now online. It’s much harder to
online. It’s much harder to first of all gain the
first of all gain the audience’s attention, but also
audience’s attention, but also to keep it high and. Anyway,
to keep it high and. Anyway, you always want to interact
you always want to interact with your audience even in a
with your audience even in a face-to-face presentation, but
face-to-face presentation, but online you want to interact
online you want to interact with them even more. so every
with them even more. so every few minutes it could be every 5
few minutes it could be every 5 minutes at least every 5
minutes at least every 5 minutes in an online
minutes in an online presentation you need to create
presentation you need to create a moment of change a moment of
a moment of change a moment of interaction it could be as
interaction it could be as simple as asking a question,
simple as asking a question, but that’s so important if you
but that’s so important if you want to be able to keep the
want to be able to keep the attention high. I like that, I
attention high. I like that, I hope that you all heard that
hope that you all heard that and we’ll replay that for later
and we’ll replay that for later because that’s a big one, no
because that’s a big one, no matter what you’re presenting
matter what you’re presenting in my opinion cuz I know that
in my opinion cuz I know that I’ve even taught in my
I’ve even taught in my workshops that I’ve done. I do
workshops that I’ve done. I do that as well. so not just live
that as well. so not just live you know here on Facebook or
you know here on Facebook or anything but in zoom workshops
anything but in zoom workshops and things like that I have
and things like that I have done that where I break things
done that where I break things up and II really try to engage
up and II really try to engage the audience because it makes
the audience because it makes a. And part of that is me
a. And part of that is me personally, I just like to be
personally, I just like to be more engaging as much as
more engaging as much as possible, but I want all of you
possible, but I want all of you to think about adding a little
to think about adding a little bit more of that into your
bit more of that into your presentations because. we
presentations because. we really don’t wanna sit here and
really don’t wanna sit here and just hear from someone for 45
just hear from someone for 45 minutes or an hour and not be
minutes or an hour and not be able to do anything and engage
able to do anything and engage with them like we’ve we need
with them like we’ve we need that interaction and it just
that interaction and it just makes it more fun when you do
makes it more fun when you do that too and you discover more
that too and you discover more from your audience of what
from your audience of what they. What they need what they
they. What they need what they like and so really really pay
like and so really really pay attention to that cuz that’s
attention to that cuz that’s that’s a big big bonus right
that’s a big big bonus right there and I couldn’t have
there and I couldn’t have explained it in a better way
explained it in a better way and and actually if we want to
and and actually if we want to take it to the next level, then
take it to the next level, then as presenters we should also
as presenters we should also try to during our
try to during our presentations. to let’s try to
presentations. to let’s try to make the audience do something.
make the audience do something. yes, so instead of just us,
yes, so instead of just us, maybe saying. Then can we make
maybe saying. Then can we make the audience do something in
the audience do something in the presentation again? The
the presentation again? The same principle applies also to
same principle applies also to a face to face presentation,
a face to face presentation, but even more importantly now
but even more importantly now online every time the audience
online every time the audience does something it could be
does something it could be again. imagine that we are
again. imagine that we are giving maybe a webinar on zoom
giving maybe a webinar on zoom now, then we can ask a question
now, then we can ask a question we can invite the audience to
we can invite the audience to type the answers in the chat
type the answers in the chat box, so it doesn’t have to be
box, so it doesn’t have to be anything complicated but every
anything complicated but every time the audience. Does
time the audience. Does something it means that they
something it means that they are there with you as the
are there with you as the presenter they are listening to
presenter they are listening to you. They are engaging they are
you. They are engaging they are interacting. They are not
interacting. They are not checking their Facebook profile
checking their Facebook profile or checking their kids. Now
or checking their kids. Now we’re all at home, so it’s so
we’re all at home, so it’s so important to even take it to
important to even take it to the next level and find ways to
the next level and find ways to make the audience do something
make the audience do something every few minutes during your
every few minutes during your online presentations. It’s so
online presentations. It’s so good and when you mention that
good and when you mention that that’s something. That I want
that’s something. That I want everyone to do in your zoom
everyone to do in your zoom meetings because I know a lot
meetings because I know a lot of you are probably conducting
of you are probably conducting zoom webinars and I will tell
zoom webinars and I will tell you from my experience with my
you from my experience with my workshops that makes a huge
workshops that makes a huge difference. when you can get
difference. when you can get people to engage whether it’s
people to engage whether it’s just in the chat or what I’ve
just in the chat or what I’ve done is in certain parts of my
done is in certain parts of my presentation, I have people
presentation, I have people unmute themselves. and I’ll
unmute themselves. and I’ll tell you there’s this awkward
tell you there’s this awkward silent moment It happens every
silent moment It happens every time. Cuz nobody really wants
time. Cuz nobody really wants to be the first one and they’re
to be the first one and they’re always thinking you know like
always thinking you know like well. we’ll just we’ll just sit
well. we’ll just we’ll just sit back and see who else is gonna
back and see who else is gonna do it or you know we’ll just
do it or you know we’ll just kinda hang out here but if you
kinda hang out here but if you get used to that little awkward
get used to that little awkward feeling and let it just happen,
feeling and let it just happen, then people start to open up
then people start to open up and the same when it comes to
and the same when it comes to doing. for example, Facebook
doing. for example, Facebook live presentation you can do
live presentation you can do that and and say you know,
that and and say you know, share this out or comment with
share this out or comment with the fire emoji or tag a friend
the fire emoji or tag a friend like give those calls to action
like give those calls to action even if nobody ever. Does it,
even if nobody ever. Does it, it’s still helpful because it’s
it’s still helpful because it’s you making that transition and
you making that transition and inviting them to do something
inviting them to do something so keep that in mind. Yeah and
so keep that in mind. Yeah and also and because you’re sad and
also and because you’re sad and you’re right. Sometimes you’ve
you’re right. Sometimes you’ve got that awkward few seconds.
got that awkward few seconds. maybe endless seconds of
maybe endless seconds of silence where you are something
silence where you are something and nothing happens actually
and nothing happens actually what great presenters do is
what great presenters do is they they are prepared for
they they are prepared for those moments as well, for
those moments as well, for example. Again, let’s take just
example. Again, let’s take just an example or at the end of a
an example or at the end of a presentation. you you maybe
presentation. you you maybe you’ve got your call to action
you’ve got your call to action or whatever it is that you want
or whatever it is that you want to use as your conclusion and
to use as your conclusion and then you say, okay any
then you say, okay any questions and then definitely
questions and then definitely that you’ve got that awkward
that you’ve got that awkward moment of silence. but what you
moment of silence. but what you can do is if you’ve prepared
can do is if you’ve prepared yourself, then you can as the
yourself, then you can as the presenter you can be the one
presenter you can be the one that breaks the eyes and you if
that breaks the eyes and you if you say any questions, then you
you say any questions, then you wait, maybe a couple of sets
wait, maybe a couple of sets to. Seconds if nothing happens
to. Seconds if nothing happens you could say if you have
you could say if you have prepared, let’s say it just in
prepared, let’s say it just in case question of your own. then
case question of your own. then you could say something like
you could say something like look as you think about your
look as you think about your first question, Let me just ask
first question, Let me just ask myself. One question I get
myself. One question I get asked all the time at the
asked all the time at the moment and then you break the
moment and then you break the ice. Then you ask yourself that
ice. Then you ask yourself that question you give yourself the
question you give yourself the answer and I can promise you to
answer and I can promise you to our listeners here by the time
our listeners here by the time you’ve done that it is much
you’ve done that it is much more likely that there are some
more likely that there are some questions. Yes. Oh, Again
questions. Yes. Oh, Again replay that part because when
replay that part because when you are listening to this again
you are listening to this again later, that is another key take
later, that is another key take away because it’s so important
away because it’s so important as part of your preparation to
as part of your preparation to not only include your topic and
not only include your topic and and what you’re going to be
and what you’re going to be talking about. but to also
talking about. but to also factor in a couple questions
factor in a couple questions there because that helps you
there because that helps you the conversation and that’s the
the conversation and that’s the beauty of doing. That’s the
beauty of doing. That’s the beauty of embracing Facebook
beauty of embracing Facebook live and doing live broadcast
live and doing live broadcast because every broadcast you do
because every broadcast you do is going to take you one step
is going to take you one step closer to where you wanna go
closer to where you wanna go with your speaking skills with
with your speaking skills with your presentation, all the
your presentation, all the things that you’re trying to
things that you’re trying to work on in my opinion. That’s

On getting you to that next level when it comes to your
level when it comes to your presentation skills it’s so
presentation skills it’s so it’s so true and because in the
it’s so true and because in the end you can have the greatest
end you can have the greatest idea in the world. it could be
idea in the world. it could be a product a service a project
a product a service a project you’ve been working on, but if
you’ve been working on, but if you can’t communicate it, it
you can’t communicate it, it could be a Facebook live. It
could be a Facebook live. It could be a webinar A
could be a webinar A face-to-face presentation if
face-to-face presentation if you can’t communicate the idea,
you can’t communicate the idea, then it doesn’t matter. And
then it doesn’t matter. And that’s why this is so
that’s why this is so important. Yes and one of our
important. Yes and one of our live viewers is asking I always
live viewers is asking I always she’s mentioned. I always
she’s mentioned. I always forget to give the call to
forget to give the call to action and think of it after I
action and think of it after I hit the off button. How do we
hit the off button. How do we remember to do that any tips
remember to do that any tips great question well, well, what
great question well, well, what you want to do is you want to
you want to do is you want to if you want to remember to do
if you want to remember to do that then? You want to make
that then? You want to make sure you’ve rehearsed your
sure you’ve rehearsed your presentation you need to
presentation you need to rehearse again, it could be a
rehearse again, it could be a live webinar. It could be a
live webinar. It could be a Facebook live. It could be a
Facebook live. It could be a face to face presentation. you
face to face presentation. you have to rehearse I would say.
have to rehearse I would say. three times is non negotiable
three times is non negotiable at least go through your
at least go through your presentation from the very
presentation from the very beginning to the very end,
beginning to the very end, including the call to action at
including the call to action at the very least three times and
the very least three times and that will make it much more
that will make it much more likely for you to remember what
likely for you to remember what you need. Say and then make
you need. Say and then make sure that you have a very
sure that you have a very strong call to action. I like
strong call to action. I like to follow off the I call it.
to follow off the I call it. The what so what’s next
The what so what’s next approach, which works so well
approach, which works so well for for call to actions and you
for for call to actions and you could do that in 30 seconds. so
could do that in 30 seconds. so if you create, let’s say a
if you create, let’s say a seven more or less like seventy
seven more or less like seventy Watt paragraph, including the
Watt paragraph, including the watts, which means remind your
watts, which means remind your audience of what you want them
audience of what you want them to take away from your
to take away from your presentation. That’s the what
presentation. That’s the what which is not enough. Also so
which is not enough. Also so what tell them again? Why

will remember it. Yeah. It’s such a great advice and and for
such a great advice and and for those who are curious if you
those who are curious if you saw me when I was moving my
saw me when I was moving my eyes down below, I’m also
eyes down below, I’m also looking at the chat of course
looking at the chat of course cuz I’m doing this live but I
cuz I’m doing this live but I also have because I’m going
also have because I’m going live on my computer. I actually
live on my computer. I actually have a notes on my notes app
have a notes on my notes app open with a couple bullet
open with a couple bullet points just to reference in
points just to reference in case I do forget anything and
case I do forget anything and one of. Bullet points at the
one of. Bullet points at the end is my CT right, so I also
end is my CT right, so I also do it there and if you’re using
do it there and if you’re using a phone because many might be
a phone because many might be just using phone, you can put
just using phone, you can put simple post it on your phone.
simple post it on your phone. Have it next to you or hold
Have it next to you or hold your phone in one hand and then
your phone in one hand and then post it on the other and kinda

let me get back in there you’re looking at your audience and
looking at your audience and being able to see the note too.
being able to see the note too. You know there’s different
You know there’s different tricks that you can do but that
tricks that you can do but that rehearsing. Really going to
rehearsing. Really going to help because then you remember
help because then you remember when you’re talking that you
when you’re talking that you hit 123 and then, oh what comes
hit 123 and then, oh what comes next the call to action and so
next the call to action and so then you start to say it yeah
then you start to say it yeah and then what you just said in

the end, this is pretty much the. the basic presentation
the. the basic presentation structure so the simplest and
structure so the simplest and most effective presentation
most effective presentation structure if we’ve got
structure if we’ve got listeners today who don’t know
listeners today who don’t know where to start, okay we need to
where to start, okay we need to develop a clear structure for
develop a clear structure for presentations where do we start
presentations where do we start well First of all you want to
well First of all you want to have what I call a. At the
have what I call a. At the beginning, you want to hook
beginning, you want to hook your audience, you want to be
your audience, you want to be able to capture their attention
able to capture their attention in just a few seconds. then you
in just a few seconds. then you said .1 .2 .3. This is the rule
said .1 .2 .3. This is the rule of three, which is one of the
of three, which is one of the most simple but most powerful
most simple but most powerful rules in communication people
rules in communication people can remember three pieces of
can remember three pieces of information in short term
information in short term memory. so don’t tell them a
memory. so don’t tell them a thousand things tell them your
thousand things tell them your three key messages and then you
three key messages and then you may want to summarize. maybe
may want to summarize. maybe you have Q and a. And then you
you have Q and a. And then you call to action so hook three
call to action so hook three key messages so very top level
key messages so very top level hook, which is your interaction
hook, which is your interaction three key messages and then
three key messages and then your punchline your call to
your punchline your call to action and then, of course,
action and then, of course, depending on how much time you
depending on how much time you have that could be a 5 minute
have that could be a 5 minute presentation or it could be a 1
presentation or it could be a 1 hour presentation. Yes, Oh, and
hour presentation. Yes, Oh, and we’re gonna give you guys an
we’re gonna give you guys an example here because I’m gonna
example here because I’m gonna have you go ahead and do a
have you go ahead and do a summary and of our our top
summary and of our our top points here and then I’ll have
points here and then I’ll have you share your call to action
you share your call to action for others as well. You are you
for others as well. You are you talking to me now to the list.
talking to me now to the list. Yes, yes. I’ll have you and in
Yes, yes. I’ll have you and in the audience if you are
the audience if you are watching this live feel free to
watching this live feel free to drop it in the comments you can
drop it in the comments you can do a quick example if you’re
do a quick example if you’re watching this and there’s the
watching this and there’s the chat there go ahead and do what

then I’ll go ahead and have you do this so that way you can
do this so that way you can promote obviously your stuff as
promote obviously your stuff as well. here live for everyone.
well. here live for everyone. so whenever you want, I don’t
so whenever you want, I don’t know if you want if you have
know if you want if you have any other questions for me or
any other questions for me or if we are about to wrap up, you
if we are about to wrap up, you tell me what we’ll wrap up here
tell me what we’ll wrap up here in just a moment. Let me ask
in just a moment. Let me ask one more question just in case
one more question just in case anybody is curious. if someone
anybody is curious. if someone is creating a PowerPoint or a
is creating a PowerPoint or a canva presentation. Do you have
canva presentation. Do you have any tips around that because I
any tips around that because I know we talked a lot about
know we talked a lot about speaking and mostly you know in
speaking and mostly you know in person camera and so just
person camera and so just adding that little tidbit in.
adding that little tidbit in. Tools because some people might
Tools because some people might be presenting with a PowerPoint
be presenting with a PowerPoint style program and so if you
style program and so if you have any tips around that to
have any tips around that to help them, oh no the key thing
help them, oh no the key thing there and is that we need to
there and is that we need to keep it simple and we need to
keep it simple and we need to keep it visual. So keep your
keep it visual. So keep your slides as simple and if
slides as simple and if possible as visual as possible.
possible as visual as possible. one idea per line, let’s say if
one idea per line, let’s say if you’ve got, I’m not saying that
you’ve got, I’m not saying that you can’t communicate two
you can’t communicate two ideas, but if you’ve got two
ideas, but if you’ve got two ideas to. Is then you can have
ideas to. Is then you can have two slides so one idea for
two slides so one idea for slide. keep it simple. It could
slide. keep it simple. It could be just one word or just one
be just one word or just one big number, just one image a
big number, just one image a combination of image and text
combination of image and text that’s very powerful, but
that’s very powerful, but definitely you never want to
definitely you never want to have slides full of text and
have slides full of text and bullet points. Why because it’s
bullet points. Why because it’s not just boring, I think you
not just boring, I think you said that yeah, you said that
said that yeah, you said that at the beginning and but even
at the beginning and but even if if you look at how our brain
if if you look at how our brain works, this is this. Science
works, this is this. Science tells us about communication
tells us about communication the to me this is fascinating
the to me this is fascinating the written text is processed
the written text is processed in exactly the same parts of
in exactly the same parts of the brain that processes the
the brain that processes the spoken text and so reading and
spoken text and so reading and listening are to conflicting
listening are to conflicting activities for for people for
activities for for people for the audience So every time we
the audience So every time we show a slide full of texts and
show a slide full of texts and bullet points the audience will
bullet points the audience will need to make a decision. Do I
need to make a decision. Do I listen to Andrea now or do I
listen to Andrea now or do I read from his slides? It’s very
read from his slides? It’s very hard to do both things at the
hard to do both things at the same time. It’s almost
same time. It’s almost impossible. Not even women can
impossible. Not even women can do that. I know that women are
do that. I know that women are much better than us and
much better than us and multitasking, but it’s very
multitasking, but it’s very hard for everybody, including
hard for everybody, including with women to read and listen
with women to read and listen at the same time. So my piece
at the same time. So my piece of advice is keep your slides
of advice is keep your slides as simple and as visual as
as simple and as visual as possible. such great advice and
possible. such great advice and I really really encourage
I really really encourage everyone to relook at their
everyone to relook at their slides before presenting again
slides before presenting again and take that advice because
and take that advice because trust me when you put a lot on
trust me when you put a lot on those slides. It just goes
those slides. It just goes right over and you’re already
right over and you’re already losing your audience, probably
losing your audience, probably before you even open up your
before you even open up your mouth to start speaking. for
mouth to start speaking. for sure. any last tips that you
sure. any last tips that you wanna share or anything that we
wanna share or anything that we didn’t get to before. I have
didn’t get to before. I have you kinda do a quick example of
you kinda do a quick example of of a wrap up. so perhaps the
of a wrap up. so perhaps the here is my final message and
here is my final message and that’s why I think this is so
that’s why I think this is so important now I believe that
important now I believe that and this is especially true for
and this is especially true for business. Coaches consultants
business. Coaches consultants business professionals, I
business professionals, I believe that that until we are
believe that that until we are great presenters business is
great presenters business is hard. of course, I should say
hard. of course, I should say this, but that’s why I believe
this, but that’s why I believe I believe that until we are
I believe that until we are great presenters our only job
great presenters our only job should be to become one and
should be to become one and what I also think is that if we
what I also think is that if we look around, there’s never been
look around, there’s never been a better time for people to
a better time for people to become better presenters. Why
become better presenters. Why because if we look at? What’s
because if we look at? What’s happening with things like we
happening with things like we talked about technology before
talked about technology before and automation and artificial
and automation and artificial intelligence and robots, and
intelligence and robots, and all these kind of things. yeah
all these kind of things. yeah today more than ever having a
today more than ever having a good idea isn’t good enough so,
good idea isn’t good enough so, for example, if you want to
for example, if you want to land your dream job or sell
land your dream job or sell products or lead teams or build
products or lead teams or build brands or trigger movements if
brands or trigger movements if you want to do any of these
you want to do any of these things, then you need to be
things, then you need to be able to persuade people and
able to persuade people and inspire them and this is not.
inspire them and this is not. In that a robot will be able to
In that a robot will be able to do never. this is not something
do never. this is not something that our zoom will do for you
that our zoom will do for you you still need to take
you still need to take responsibility for
responsibility for communicating your ideas in the
communicating your ideas in the most effective way, and that’s
most effective way, and that’s why and I’m done and that’s why
why and I’m done and that’s why I think that being able to
I think that being able to present effectively is a skill
present effectively is a skill that will become only more
that will become only more important, no less so for our
important, no less so for our listeners today if they’ve.
listeners today if they’ve. Started their journey to
Started their journey to becoming the best presenters
becoming the best presenters that can be that’s great. I
that can be that’s great. I urge them to keep going keep
urge them to keep going keep going and your audience will
going and your audience will thank you. Yes. Oh, I’m so glad
thank you. Yes. Oh, I’m so glad you shared that because that is
you shared that because that is gold right there. I mean,
gold right there. I mean, that’s the thing that we all
that’s the thing that we all have to understand is the
have to understand is the presentation skills that we
presentation skills that we learn and that we constantly
learn and that we constantly develop when we apply
develop when we apply ourselves. That’s what makes
ourselves. That’s what makes us. Now, that’s why I love live
us. Now, that’s why I love live broadcasting. It’s not because
broadcasting. It’s not because I love being in front of the
I love being in front of the camera I never wanted to be in
camera I never wanted to be in front of the camera When I
front of the camera When I first started my business, I
first started my business, I realized that that I had to do
realized that that I had to do this because it was the only
this because it was the only way that I was going to stand
way that I was going to stand out because it’s me being
out because it’s me being myself. and letting people
myself. and letting people decide if they want to be in my
decide if they want to be in my world or not and and that’s the
world or not and and that’s the beauty of live streaming is
beauty of live streaming is that it allows you to bring a
that it allows you to bring a little bit more of your
little bit more of your personality to your brand. If
personality to your brand. If you’re just starting, it’s okay
you’re just starting, it’s okay if you mess up if you’re
if you mess up if you’re seasoned, it’s okay if you mess
seasoned, it’s okay if you mess up like it’s reality and we all
up like it’s reality and we all can be a we’re all able to
can be a we’re all able to relate to each other and when
relate to each other and when we open up ourselves like that
we open up ourselves like that and be more authentic and and
and be more authentic and and doing this has helped me with
doing this has helped me with my presentation skills and I
my presentation skills and I know I always have more
know I always have more opportunities to do more and to
opportunities to do more and to get better and that’s another
get better and that’s another reason why I show up live. It’s
reason why I show up live. It’s because every time I do that
because every time I do that I’m showing up for my audience
I’m showing up for my audience I’m providing some value for
I’m providing some value for them that they probably won’t
