    CONCLUSION

    If you can master and dominate the Response quadrant, your audience will love you. The task is simple: make the presentation about them and not about you. If you approach your presentation through that lens, you won't go wrong.

    REMEMBER

    Make sure you can answer the five questions about your audience with confidence.

    Change your language and keep this in mind with every slide you create.

    PLAN FOR UNPREDICTABILITY
    No matter how much presenters prepare, they will never know exactly how an audience will react to their message. Will they love it? Will they hate it? The sad reality: audiences are unpredictable. They may be talkative. They may be tired. They may be inquisitive. They may even be hateful. Amazing presenters know how to control any situation, and that begins with knowing how to open and close your talk.
    FIVE POWERFUL WAYS TO OPEN YOUR PRESENTATION
    We all know that first impressions matter, so if you want to mitigate harsh or unnecessary judgment, you'll need to know how to open a presentation properly. Here are a few of our favorite tactics:
    USE THE POWER OF SILENCE.
    In February 2013, Amanda Palmer delivered a phenomenal TED Talk called the “The Art of Asking,” and she opened with silence. She spent the first 18 seconds setting up her equipment and then being silent. By doing so, she built a confident stage presence. As viewers, we are left waiting and wondering what's next, putting all the power and authority in her hands. This is what makes it an amazing tactic. If you are feeling extremely confident and charismatic, it's definitely an approach worth adding to your toolbox.
    LOOK TO THE FUTURE OR THE PAST.
    Prospective and retrospective statements can be incredibly powerful when done right. I'll give you an example of each. Let's say you want to be prospective with your opening. If this is the case, you might want to open with a statement like this: “Ten years from now, mobile devices will be a thing of the past.” Now you have the audience's attention. They are wondering how this can be. They love their iPhones. What could possibly replace them? No matter what they are wondering, you have them engaged from your opening line. Here's an example of a retrospective statement: “In 1969, we put a man on the moon. Today, we are beginning our journey to Mars.” Again, it's a compelling statement that leaves your audience wanting more.
    QUOTE SOMEONE.
    I (Scott) am a big fan of Stephen Hawking. If I decide to open my next presentation with one of his quotes, it will automatically build my level of credibility. Let's see it in action: “Stephen Hawking once said, ‘Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.’ That's exactly what I want to talk about with you today.”
    With a few words, I'm looking smarter than I actually am—just ask my wife.
    SHARE SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY.
    Did you know that if you eat 30 to 90 grams of polar bear liver,[8] you could die? That's something extraordinary about something ordinary. As human beings, we love this type of information, so it is worth exploring as a potential presentation opener.
    TELL A STORY.
    Stories are part of our DNA. There are really no new stories. They are just retold in different ways by different people. Stories are forever. Open with one in your next presentation.
    Our Favorite Opening Method (Video): http://ethos3.com/treats/opening
    FIVE POWERFUL WAYS TO CLOSE YOUR PRESENTATION
    Understanding how to open a presentation is critical, but knowing how to close one is just as important. Here are a few of our favorite techniques:
    CIRCLE BACK AROUND.
    Our favorite movies and books always circle back around. Two of our favorite directors are the Coen brothers. Their movies are a bit dark, incredibly introspective, and wildly popular. Their classic Fargo demonstrates this point. In the very first scene of the movie, you see a car driving on a snowy road. The movie's resolution concludes with a very similar image and tone. As an audience member, you are provided with a sense of closure, which has a powerful emotional impact.
    BUILD UP TO SOMETHING.
    Let's take another lesson from Hollywood. One film that stands out to me is Bryan Singer's 1995 hit The Usual Suspects. I won't reveal any spoilers. Suffice it to say that it ends with an amazing twist. Singer spends 106 minutes[9] building up to something very profound.
    REPEAT THE IMPORTANT STUFF.
    In 1999, neurobiologist

    YOU MUST BE PERSUASIVE

    If you want to strengthen your ability to persuade and influence, we recommend the work of Dr. Robert B. Cialdini,[7] who has written a number of great books on the subject. If you want a few tips and tricks, here's what we suggest (Figure 21.7).

    Figure 21.7: How to Be Persuasive

    BE AUTHORITATIVE

    Persuasion is a lot about having authority. From a presentation context, authority is best achieved when it comes from an outside source, so it is in your best interest to see if you can have someone introduce you before you take the stage. This will immediately earn you credibility and position you as the expert. If someone is not available to introduce you, see if you can have your credentials or bio highlighted in a brochure or one sheet that can be read before you begin your presentation.

    BE VULNERABLE

    We live in a transparent world. We're glued to social media on our phones, tablets, and desktops. People want an inside look at our lives, and presentations aren't much different. Don't be afraid to open up and share personal stories when appropriate. It will help tear down the walls between you and your audience and humanize you as a speaker.

    BE LIKABLE

    We like to think of being likable in the framework of two Ps: playful and polite. Audiences love those who know how to have fun with themselves and others, so showcase your playful side. Don't be afraid to make fun of yourself or display how you are a kid at heart. Assuming your parents did a great job of raising you, don't neglect to display your manners and be polite.

    CARE ABOUT YOUR AUDIENCE
    The primary reason you should create and give a presentation is to provide value to your audience. Plain and simple. The presentation is not about you. It's about them. Ask yourself these five questions when thinking about your audience.
    THE FIVE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR AUDIENCE
    WHO AM I ADDRESSING?
    In every presentation environment you are going to find yourself facing a 50/50 balance of introverts and extroverts. That lesson was taught to me years ago by a dear friend and mentor. Here's how I was taught to distinguish the difference between the two. Imagine that you have a battery in the middle of your chest. If you are an extrovert, that battery stays energized when you are at dinner with friends, attending a party, or participating in any social event. The minute you begin to spend time by yourself, though, your battery begins to get depleted and you need to start socializing again to get it charged back up. Now, if you are an introvert, you are the exact opposite. The lesson: you can never lean in just one direction. For instance, if you are completely lecture-based, you will lose the attention of your extroverts. If you are entirely interactive, you will lose the attention of your introverts. You must respect both.
    WHAT KEEPS THEM UP AT NIGHT?
    I spent the first few years of my career working in the area of marketing. My days consisted of writing marketing plans and then executing the action plans. Day in and day out, this was my life. At this time in my marketing career, everything was about selling the features and benefits of our products. Fast-forward to today, and marketing is all about selling pain relief. The lesson: make sure your presentation is providing value and solving problems for your audience.
    HOW CAN I MOLD MY CONTENT TO BEST REACH THEM?
    According to a Stanford lecturer and expert, structured presentations are 40 percent more likely to be retained and remembered.[4] The lesson: craft your presentation so that it follows a logical flow and structure where you transition from every main point clearly. Use this format: What? So what? Now what? If you can follow this simple guideline, you'll be able to create a message that can break through barriers.
    HOW CAN I GET THEM TO ENGAGE WITH ME?
    Tell more stories. Here's a great Indian proverb: “Tell me a fact, and I'll remember. Tell me a truth, and I'll believe it. But if you tell me a story, I'll put it in my heart forever.” Stories are how we connect and communicate as humans, so if your presentation is based solely on facts and stats, then your audience is going to react in one of two ways: (a) they will agree with you or (b) they will disagree with you. You don't want to risk the probability of reaction (b), so tell stories. If you tell a story, your audience won't agree or disagree, but they will engage with you. Think about it. When I (Scott) was 12 years old, I broke my arm. It was a nice spring day, and I was attempting to ride my bike down a gigantic hill in our neighborhood with no hands, and then BAM! I ran smack into a curb, flew off my bike, and went tumbling down the concrete sidewalk. Now, did you just agree or disagree with that very short story? I'm going to argue that you engaged instead. Maybe you broke your arm as a kid as well, or perhaps your child just broke his or her arm. You aren't agreeing or disagreeing. You are engaging.
    WHAT DO I NEED THEM TO DO NEXT?
    Every presentation needs a call to action. We'll repeat that. Every presentation needs a call to action. Your audience needs to know what you want them to do next. Are they supposed to buy something, download something, or read something? What are they supposed to do with the information you just presented? By providing a clear call to action, you are also providing a clear purpose and reason for your talk.
    If you can't answer those questions with 100 percent confidence, then don't pass “Go,” don't collect $200, and get back to the drawing board. Now, if you

    MASTERING THE RESPONSE QUADRANT

    The day was February 11, 1990, and the location was Cape Town, South Africa. On this day, Nelson Mandela was released from prison after serving 27 years behind bars. Twenty-seven years. There are some of you reading this right now who aren't 27 years old. That's a long time to spend in prison for trying to protect your country from an oppressive regime.

    Despite the abuse, mistreatment, and unfairness, Mandela focused on his audience rather than himself when giving his speech shortly after being released. Here is a part of his opening:

    Friends, comrades, and fellow South Africans.

    I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy, and freedom for all.

    I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.

    On this day of my release, I extend my sincere and warmest gratitude to the millions of my compatriots and those in every corner of the globe who have campaigned tirelessly for my release.[3]

    This short excerpt is a total of 99 words, 49 of which were about his audience. He continued his talk with “I salute” and “I pay tribute to” messages, which expressed his humility and service to others. How much of your next presentation is focused on your audience?

    LEARNING FROM A PROFESSIONAL TODAY

    One of my favorite presenters is Anthony Robbins. He's passionate. He's charismatic. He's knowledgeable. And he knows how to own a room even without PowerPoint. It's hard not to like him. Robbins coaches executives, athletes, world leaders, and even college students who are looking for that competitive edge. You may already be familiar with his very successful audio programs Personal Power and Get the Edge. He's been helping people for decades, and he continues to experience monumental success because audiences love him. He cares for them, and they, in turn, care for him.

    Several years ago, Hanna, a suicidal 13-year-old girl, was attending one of his conferences with her parents. Robbins went to her and spent six minutes with her, doing one-on-one coaching, ultimately helping her achieve a major breakthrough. They concluded their time together with a giant hug. Through this effort, he was able to change the group, by changing one person.

    If you have had the privilege of attending any of his Date with Destiny or Business Mastery courses, you'll know what I mean about Robbins's passion and love for his audiences. Anthony Robbins knows how to educate, motivate, and get anyone moving toward massive action. I have attended his goal-setting workshop (part of Get the Edge) for the past few years now, and I always leave feeling inspired and challenged to start taking small steps toward my objectives.

    If there is one core element that holds true with any Anthony Robbins presentation or seminar, it is this: he has a very deep passion and love for his audience. At his core, he cares for people. He wants people to be happy and fulfilled and to achieve their goals and dreams. He'll do everything in his power to help people overcome their fears, grow, get financially stable, find love, be better parents, and maximize their lives.

    Robbins understands the importance of the Response quadrant. His messages are always simple and actionable, which makes him memorable and magnetic. It's a wonderful combination.

    EXAMINING A PROFESSIONAL FROM THE PAST

    Just three days after the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington, President George W. Bush gave an electrifying speech via a bullhorn to the rescue workers at Ground Zero. It was a short and simple. Why was it so powerful?

    His approach was a bit unexpected. The rescue workers couldn't hear him, and he responded with a few simple words that empowered the whole country.

    Here's his entire speech:

    President Bush

    Thank you all. I want you all to know—it [the bullhorn] can't go any louder—I want you all to know that America today, America today is on bended knee, in prayer for the people whose lives were lost here, for the workers who work here, for the families who mourn. The nation stands with the good people of New York City and New Jersey and Connecticut as we mourn the loss of thousands of our citizens.

    Rescue Worker

    I can't hear you!

    President Bush

    I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people … and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!

    Rescue Workers

    [Chanting] U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

    President Bush

    The nation … the nation sends its love and compassion …

    Rescue Worker

    God bless America!

    President Bush

    … to everybody who is here. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for makin’ the nation proud, and may God bless America.

    Rescue Workers

    [Chanting] U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.![1]

    America and the rest of the world changed that day. For the first time in a long while, Americans began to unite, and President Bush's approval rating skyrocketed to 90 percent, the highest ever in Gallup history.[2] That day, he understood that he needed to share a message that would inspire and grab the hearts of his audience. He needed to provide direction for a country in shock. He needed to make a lasting impact. He observed. He listened. He took action. It's what the people needed, and he provided it.
