Powerful Presentations

How do you feel about public speaking? A bit uncomfortable and anxious, or downright terrified? It’s estimated that over 70% of people fear it, so you’re not alone if it’s something you avoid.

Still, you can't allow the fear of public speaking to stop you from delivering an important presentation at work, speaking at a wedding, or sharing a message you're passionate about!

In today's episode, we'll go through the core skills required to become an outstanding public speaker. Relying on my experience as a public speaking and advanced public speaking professor at Cal State University Northridge, as well as decades as a trainer and coach, I share the nuts and bolts of delivering powerful presentations.

We'll focus on the three most important factors in any presentation: compelling content, solid organization, and a dynamic delivery. Plus, you'll learn how to start your presentation, what type of content to avoid, the importance of your body language, and so much more.

Tune in and listen to Episode 7 of Growth & Gratitude, and learn how to create and deliver powerful presentations.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

Is it normal to be nervous and anxious before a presentation? (4:28)
Why the fear of public speaking is irrational (5:17)
The importance of adapting the content for each audience (7:24)
How to organize your presentations. The core pillars of an organized presentation (10:29)
