Feeling nervous before a presentation or feeling insecure when facing an intimidating audience can be positive. That may seem counterintuitive, but Mark and Darren clarify in today's episode. Drawing on their combined 60+ years of lessons learned, they provide advice and specific techniques for using nervousness to your advantage.
SNIPPETS:
• Being a little nervous can be a good thing
• Use nervous energy to fuel additional preparation
• Let no one out-prepare you
• Research: get more than you need, to give what they need
• Get over yourself, and into your audience
• "Skillset without mindset leaves your audience upset" – Craig Valentine
• Before each presentation ask FOUR QUESTIONS:
• WHAT IS MY INTENT
• AM I PRESENT ("Don't be perfect; be PRESENT" – Darren)
• WILL I HAVE FUN
• HOW WOULD I GIVE THIS PRESENTATION IF I KNEW IT WAS MY LAST
• If the character doesn't change, there is no story
