Present with Fun and Power!

World Champion Speaker and World Class Speech Coach

What to prepare: A presentation that:

addresses audience needs
challenges the mind
touches the heart
tickles the funnybone
involves the whole person

How to prepare

Test, re-work and re-write your material
Prepare psychologically, physically
Practice, practice, practice

How to practice

Before as many different audiences as possible
Use the coaching process – the winning edge

4. How to present: “The Final Polish”

Have high expectations of the audience and yourself
Visualize your audience’s needs and your ability to fully satisfy them
Maintain physical and psychological readiness
Act as a competent, creative and caring professional
Delight yourself–by giving your very best

Coaching works best when you:

Use memorized, repeatable passages from a speech
Ask for specific suggestions
Acknowledge and try every idea your coach offers
Mark your script showing pauses, rises, falls, speed-ups, draw stick figures,
gestures, facial expressions, cues for audio/visual/props use, or to refer to handouts.
Incorporate suggestions which fit your presentation and personal style
Record your practice sessions; listen to your final presentation again and again.

The TRIUMPH

Is NOT in the TROPHY –

It is in the STRIVING.

Knowing you have DONE YOUR VERY BEST –

That is the Winning Edge!
